The ACE Medicine programme is aimed at intercalating medical students and will provide students with the opportunity to develop in depth applied knowledge, clinical practice, research skills and professional behaviours in the highly connected fields of Acute Medicine, Critical Care (including ITU Medicine), Emergency Medicine and Trauma Care. The programme will deliver a primarily placement-based learning experience that encapsulates the key areas of each speciality, whilst ensuring deep understanding of the inherent linked nature of the specialties with authentic assessment.
The programme will deliver a primarily placement based learning opportunity that encapsulates the key areas of each speciality whilst ensuring deep understanding of the inherent linked nature of the specialties with authentic assessment. In addition, they will develop the qualities and transferable skills necessary to make decisions in complex and unpredictable contexts; and learn how to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions in support of patent based medicine in the ACE environment. In the core placement modules student will rotate through the specialist areas within one NHS Acute Trust working within clinical teams to apply knowledge, perform and develop clinical skills and learn (and demonstrate) professional behaviours, high intensity clinical practice situations. Student engagement and progress will be assessed by portfolio, guided reflection, alongside separate research modules which are co-located in the clinical placement, placement, aligning with principles of curriculum 2021, including authentic assessment. The assessment strategy is intended to be progressive, building on students' learning, which will be achieved independent of the placement order as a result of programme design which leads to immersion in a highly interactive clinical environment, this can be achieved independent of the placement order because of the nature of the highly interactive environment.
This is an innovative programme in that it offers you the opportunity to experience all aspects of Emergency Care medicine and the opportunity to take your first steps into clinical research in these areas.
