MBBS Primary Care Medical Education

UCL Medical School's commitment to deliver a large proportion of its undergraduate medical curriculum in the community means we have several well-established programmes in which GPs teach medical students in their own practices, often in subject areas which have traditionally been taught exclusively in the hospital. 

As well as traditional 'Core' General Practice attachments, where GPs supervise individual students for their 6-week GP placements in year five and 4-week GP placements in year six, GPs also take part in a variety of innovative programmes of practice based teaching.

The following subjects are taught in General Practice as components of the MBBS Programme in the relevant years:

Year 1 & 2: Patient Pathway in Integrated and Community Care Programme (PPICC)

Year 4: Medicine in the Community

Year 5: Core General Practice

Year 5: Care of the Older Person

Year 5: Child Health

Year 5: Dermatology

Year 5: Mental Health

Year 5: Women's Health

Year 6: GP Assistantship
