We use a variety of teaching methods to help consolidate the theory and practical elements of the course. Teaching is delivered using four main methods:
- Lectures on key topics which will be further developed in self-study or practical sessions
- Practical classes, with clinical skills, live animal experience and lab work
- Structured self-study time, which includes specific learning objectives, learning resources and time limits. These are reviewed in clinical relevance or plenary sessions
- Clinical relevance sessions which are problem-oriented, use clinical material or scenarios, and involve small-group, facilitator-led discussion. These sessions are timetabled at key points throughout the week. They will develop your understanding of significance, check knowledge learnt during self-study time and identify and resolve learning problems
