Welcome to Care of the Medical Patient at UHCW.
The goal of this block is to get a broad experience of general medicine and some experience of the different specialities therein. The block structure involves allocation to clinical areas, rotation through outpatient clinics and a series of tutorials to support learning.
The broad outline for the block involves rotating between the 5 main sub-specialities listed below during the 6 week rotation:
- Cardiology
- Respiratory
- Stroke
- Gerontology
- Gastroenterology
During the block you will be assigned to a consultant, who holds responsibility for supervising you across the six weeks. They are responsible for completing any assessments and forms.
Whilst you are not allocated time in your timetables to see your consultant, these are flexible and you can adapt the timetable to suit meeting your consultant. It is advised that if you miss any clinics, please do inform the consultant and the CMP Block administrator.
We encourage you to make contact with your supervisor each week to discuss your progress. This should be arranged with your supervising consultant during the first week.
