Can you tell me in detail about SSC (Student Selected Choice) under MBBS Program offered by School of Medical Education of Newcastle University?

[Vishal Kotkar]

The MBBS programme offered by School of Medical Education of Newcastle University is offered as a full time course only with three routes of entry; Newcastle A100, Durham A100 and Newcastle A101.

Each year of the programme is referred to as a Stage. A student has to fulfil the requirements of each Stage before they are permitted to progress.

The programme is split into two Phases of study with Phase I including Stages 1 and 2 (or the extended year in the case of A101) Phase II including Stages 3, 4 and 5.

The curriculum is designed to provide you with a general medical education, suitable for all types of doctor, and to serve as the foundation for later career specialisation.

It adopts a spiral curriculum where one builds on previous knowledge and experience to prepare one for future training.

Student Selected Choice

The Student Selected Choice strand is an essential element of the curriculum, designed to provide with the chance to choose for one self what one want to study.

As you progress through the various stages of the curriculum one is provided with a number of opportunities (SSC Periods) to select from a wide range of approved projects/topics those one may wish to study.

The range of choice offered for each period depends upon prior learning. Therefore the stage at which particular opportunities are offered is such that one have had sufficient experience to enable informed choice and exact the maximal benefit offered by any particular SSC.

SSCs will provide with the experience required to meet particular core learning outcomes, independent of the subject content studied. The outcomes addressed through SSCs include those relating to:

• Enquiry (research) and scientific method
• Information management, communication and presentation
• Critical thinking and reasoning
• Reflection and self-management

The first student selected component occurs in Stage 2 and comprises an in-depth library-based study on a topic of your choice.

One will spend 21 weeks of Stage 4 studying full-time, a series of student selected components. These SSCs are arranged in 3 consecutive 6 week blocks (plus 3 weeks of assessment), with topics being chosen from a wide range of over 300 placements.

A further student selected component is 8 week Elective which is assessed in Stage 5. The Elective provides with the opportunity to study any aspect of medicine almost anywhere in the world.
