GCSE Medicine Discovery Sessions
Suitable for: GCSE students
Medicine Discovery Sessions are a great way to introduce students to the concept of problem based learning (PBL), and to find out more about studying medicine at university. By looking at virtual patients in a PBL scenario, the session seeks to demonstrate to students the links between science and real life.
Students will work on a short case to try and find out what is wrong with the patient and suggest outcomes to reach a diagnosis. They will also have the opportunity to practise clinical skills related to the case.
