Dunedin School of Medicine

Undergraduate Teaching

In terms of undergraduate teaching, staff in the department are involved with teaching in the Early Learning in Medicine course including:

  • Healthcare in the Community,
  • Early Community Contact,
  • Clinical Cases,
  • Clinical Skills.

The Department has adopted a patient-centred approach to the consultation and achieves this through a student-centred learning programme.

In the Advanced Learning in Medicine course, the Department is involved with student placements in outpatient clinics, urban and rural primary care and in the wider community. In preparation for these placements the Department runs an in-house programme which includes authentic simulations of patient consultations in primary care, The SECO Clinic.  It also contributes to the Professional Development Programme which forms a thread through the entire undergraduate course.
