Welcome to the Oxford Graduate-entry Medicine Course, A101.

You will be able to find detailed information about the entire course in the pages that follow but below is an essential overview . Please do read this before applying - it gives important information explaining the course ethos and approach.

Key Features of the Oxford GEM A101 course:

• a relatively long-established course (founded in 2001) which offers a supportive academic environment in which to start your journey into medicine. We hope you will be inspired by the course, your College and the wider University!
• The first two years cover both basic medical science and clinical skills; the first year concentrates on science taught within a clinical context while the second year concentrates on clinical teaching with a smaller science component;
• The final two years are shared with the six-year course; students are fully integrated into the clinical course at this stage, and take the same final exams as candidates on the six-year course;
• an accelerated course particularly in the first year with the content delivered over two and a half relatively short terms prior to summative exams;
• over these initial relatively short terms the ethos is of mainly in-person learning: we believe we learn best with, from and about each other;
• provides early essential clinical experience on Wednesdays from week one of the course, split between GP practices and hospitals around the region.
• has a strong academic focus with dedicated time provided in the first two years for an academic special interest project which students can choose to continue in the latter two years.
