MBChB (with Gateway Year) Medicine
University of LincolnBrayford Pool, United Kingdom
Course overview
The Medicine MBChB (with Gateway Year) is designed to widen access to medicine study. On successful completion students will automatically progress to the Medicine MBChB. The programme aims to develop students into practising medical doctors.
Upon graduation, students will be eligible to register provisionally with the General Medical Council (GMC) and begin work as a doctor within the UK Foundation Programme (subject to successful application to the UK Foundation Programme Office). Alongside traditional medical training, the programme will also encourage students to develop wider skills in research, leadership, and an understanding of public health in a rural and coastal context. We aim to ensure that our doctors learn from experience and the course offers a varied placement experience, providing the opportunity to gain hands-on clinical experience through excellent links with local Lincolnshire NHS trusts and placements across primary and community care.
Placements will also include non-traditional community settings, such as care homes, health charities, and social prescribing settings.
