Facilities and the academic plan
Laboratory and practical teaching help medical students connect scientific principles with professional skills. The academic unit and year of study determine where teaching takes place and which facilities students use.
Laboratory learning
Follow induction, equipment handling and laboratory safety instructions. Practical work may require preparation before class, appropriate clothing and completion of assessed activities.
Clinical skills education
Ask how skills teaching is organized, where practice takes place and how performance is assessed. Do not assume access to every hospital department or research laboratory based on a campus photograph.
Preparing for study
Obtain your timetable, teaching location, equipment list and student access instructions after registration. Raise accessibility needs or practical concerns before the teaching period begins.
