Description

This course will identify and develop graduate attributes and capabilities and will include student portfolio, project management, team work, oral presentations, report writing, critical analysis, networks, peer review, debate presentations, and giving effective feedback.

In addition, broaden students' understanding of the advent of scientific medicine in the 19th and 20th centuries, looking particularly at the intellectual climate which made such innovations possible, and the extent to which science is important throughout society, well beyond laboratory-based conceptions of scientific activity.

The course is based on a series of lectures, tutorials, workshops and colloquia given by academic staff from the Faculties of Science, Arts and Social Science, and Medicine plus visiting specialists, on topics of historical, philosophical and contemporary relevance in medical science.
