MBChB Medicine

University of LincolnBrayford Pool, United Kingdom

Course overview

This five-year degree 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.
