About Medicine And Surgery Mbchb in University of Liverpool
The Liverpool MBChB programme is committed to producing superb doctors. Our graduates will be ready to deliver outstanding patient care, in both current and future healthcare systems, and be able to apply a compassionate, evidence-based and patient-centred approach to their clinical practice.
The Liverpool MBChB programme aims to actively develop our students’ interest and skill in medical scholarship, underpinned by a vision to harness expertise, from across the University and further afield, to enable them to shape 21st century medical practice.
The MBChB Programme is underpinned by three educational aims:
1. To ensure graduates are able to demonstrate the necessary knowledge, skills and professional behaviours to safely and ethically practice medicine
2. To ensure graduates are able to meet the core requirements set out by the General Medical Council in “Outcomes for Graduates
3. To enable graduates to become lifelong learners committed to their own professional development.
Career prospects
Our programmes are for individuals who wish to become qualified medical practitioners. A diverse range of careers are open to you as a medical graduate, varying from medical science, perhaps laboratory-based research, through public health and the development of health care strategies to clinical practice in the hospital and community.
Over half of qualified doctors are general practitioners but there are opportunities for higher speciality training posts with in excess of 100 medical specialities available. Salary details can be found at www.nhscareers.nhs.uk/working-in-the-nhs/pay-and-benefits.
Doctors can be found working in areas related to medicine such as ships doctors, international aid, medical journalism, research and medical education and there are other opportunities outside medicine such as law, management and the pharmaceutical industry.
Work experience opportunities
Clinical elective
All students undergo a four-week clinical elective in which they explore a branch of medicine in greater depth. Most choose to undertake their electives outside the UK, to observe how medicine is practised in another country and to experience a different social, cultural and physical environment.
