Year 3, be immersed in hospital and community settings, with structured teaching and clinical learning in the workplace.

Your final semester is a dedicated Transition to Practice term where you will be an active pre-intern member of a clinical team – this will help you make the safe and effective transition to internship/residency and your ongoing medical career.
