Course overview
Students build on the knowledge and skills acquired in the previous courses in the program. The central theme of Medical Studies 2B is Metabolism. Students will explore the major roles of the endocrine, digestive and urinary systems in maintaining life and the consequences when these systems become diseased or disordered. Key mechanisms, concepts and issues will be explored using a variety of teaching modes, including lectures (delivered face to face and online), practical classes, workshops and simulated events. Clinically relevant scenarios will continue to be used to frame concepts across the domains of Science & Scholarship, Clinical Practice, Health & Society and Professionalism & Leadership.
