The Clinical School offers students a first class scientific approach to medicine combined with educational programmes that emphasise the development of excellence in the clinical, communication, attitudinal and practical skills required for good medical practice.
The Cambridge Graduate Course (CGC) is four academic years long, starting in September of year one and finishing in June of year four (3 ¾ “actual” years). The emphasis is the acquisition of clinical skills by direct patient contact in hospital and community environments, and the integration of core medical science with clinical medicine.
The Elective Attachment is undertaken at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Hills Road, Cambridge. The Hospital is well-known for its pioneering work in various aspects of medicine. There are staff in all specialties who are interested in teaching and keen to pass on their knowledge.
