Not sure if many people on AN are keen on med, but thought I'd post this here regardless
Monash is introducing its MD program in 2017. Both undergraduate and graduate-entry students will receive a BMedSc qualification from the Y1/2/A component + part of 3B, and the MD from 3B/4C/5D. Only Monash course applicants will be accepted for the graduate-entry pathway, the majority being from BBiomed and a minority from BSc, BPhysio and BPharmacy.
The only real changes to curriculum will be:
- replacement of the elective with a scholarly intensive unit (research) in final year (ie. like UoM's stint but shorter)
- strengthening of the EBCP (evidence based clinical practice) component in 3rd year to prepare students for the scholarly intensive, plus some streamlining of the 1st and 2nd year theme II to match that
- strengthening of the patient safety curriculum in final year - this will constitute major summative assessment, so 4th year won't be quite the 'final hurdle' as it currently is
I'll post an official link when I get one (although the change is confirmed
here), but until then, stay safe and don't do drugs xox
