Educational Aims
The module is designed so that students can attain some of the outcomes specified by the GMC in Outcomes for Graduates (2018) in the areas of Professional values and behaviours; Professional skills; and Professional knowledge. These are detailed in the Module learning outcomesDuring The Molecular Pathology of Cancer students will be building on previous learning and acquiring knowledge, skills and attitudes required for assessment and management of patients with a core spectrum of clinical presentations and conditions. This will predominantly be within the School of Molecular Medical Sciences. Teaching consists of 9 lectures available on-line to the students as podcasts. It is expected that the students will have listened to the lectures before attending tutorial sessions dedicated to elucidating further the content of each lecture. Teaching will also comprise self-directed learning to reinforce and expand on the contents of the lectures. There is a requirement for private study using on-line and traditional resources. It will be essential to demonstrate appropriate professional attitudes and behaviour.Learning Outcomes
The student will be able to meet areas within the GMC outcomes as follows. The full wording is found in Outcomes for Graduates (2018) and in module study guides using the OfG paragraph numbers.
