Clinical Medicine Revision Course

The MDU Clinical Medicine Revision Course has been designed to improve student performance in medicine finals and focuses on critical exam technique, communication skills, approach to revision and application of knowledge. The course concentrates primarily on revision for the clinical exams and OSCE or PACES, which is the weakest area for most students.

The course has been developed by Dr Graham Dark MBBS, FRCP, ILTM, Senior Lecturer in Medical Oncology and Cancer Education at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. Graham has been a course director for undergraduate teaching and programme director for specialist registrar training. He represents Medical Oncology for the Royal College of Physicians where he sits on national training committees and is conducting research projects on distance learning and the use of technology in e-learning. Graham has coached over 7,000 students through their medicine finals.

All courses run from 9am - 5pm.
