Curriculum Map  

The MBBS Curriculum Map is a guide to underpin your learning and help prepare for assessments. It should be supplemented with teaching, personal study and clinical experience. Medicine is vast and complex; no map can be exhaustive. Learning will be built upon as you go through the MBBS course so you will draw upon material covered in previous years. 

There will be dynamic improvements to keep the map updated. UCLMS has taken all reasonable care to ensure that the content is up to date.

  • Legal or copyright reasons 

Asynchronous audio/visual content 

The Medical School will make asynchronous content available through Moodle where possible. The recording and transcript of the content can be downloaded as an aid to learning.
