Careers

There is a broad spectrum of hospital-based careers across medical, surgical and other specialisms, but healthcare is moving towards a more community-centred model of delivery, and consequently doctors are increasingly expected to deliver healthcare in a range of settings. Most UK graduates go on to work in the NHS, and about half become general practitioners.

Course Outline Ð Standard Course (A100)

At Cambridge, you study the medical sciences first, before learning to apply that knowledge to medical practice as a clinical student.

The first three years (pre-clinical studies) involve lectures, practical classes (including dissections) and supervisions, with typically 20-25 timetabled teaching hours each week. The emphasis during the clinical studies (Years 4, 5 and 6) in Cambridge is on learning in clinical settings: at the bedside, in outpatient clinics and in GP surgeries, which is supported by seminars, tutorials and discussion groups.
