the bachelors of medicine and surgery in medicine is designed to educate and train students to become an excellent doctor. over the five-year program, they will gain the clinical abilities, knowledge, attitudes and professional behaviors they will need to thrive in medicine.

graduates will gain hands-on experience from the start, with clinical teaching in gp practices, hospital wards and clinics, alongside lectures, seminars, tutorials and practical classes. in addition, they will use the university of sheffield's clinical skills centre at northern general hospital – one of the largest in the country – to practice their learning in simulated wards, resuscitation suites and theatres.

students will be taught the social aspects of medicine and spend time learning from real patients with real illnesses. studying this way means they will be able to reflect on their clinical knowledge in the context of real people with their own unique perspectives and respond to problems in a range of primary, secondary and tertiary care settings.
