'''Oxford University Medical School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences''' is the [[medical school]] of the [[University of Oxford]] in the city of [[Oxford]], England. It is a component of the [[Medical Sciences Division, University of Oxford|Medical Sciences Division]], and teaching is carried out in its various constituent departments.
 
==Overview==
The Oxford MedicalUniversity School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences is traditional in its teaching and is therefore split into Pre-Clinical and Clinical phases of the course, with Pre-Clinical (Years 1–3) students being based in the [[Science Area, Oxford|University Science Area]] in [[Oxford]] City Centre, and Clinical students (Years 4–6) being based at the [[John Radcliffe Hospital]], in [[Headington]], Oxford.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.gmc-uk.org/Oxford_Medical_School_Final_Report.pdf_60201765.pdf | title=Oxford Medical School Final Report | format=PDF | website=www.gmc-uk.org }}</ref>

Line 33 ⟶ 34:
The medical school admits 150 students per year onto its 6-year [[Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery|BM BCh]] course, which is a traditionally structured course consisting of two halves; a three-year pre-clinical component with little patient contact and a high focus on the scientific principles of medical practice, and ends with the award of a [[Bachelor of Arts]] degree in Medical Sciences, and a three-year clinical component with a high level of patient exposure that ends with the awarding of the BM BCh (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) degree, which provides provisional registration to the [[General Medical Council]], and entry to the [[Foundation Programme]].{{fact|date=April 2020}}
 
There is also an accelerated [[Postgraduate education|Graduate]] Entry Course which leads to the award of BM BCh in 4 years, with approximately 30 in each cohort. This course is designed for those who already hold bachelor's degrees in applied or theoretical sciences. This course has an intensive 2–year1–year component with a mix of pre-clinical and clinical teaching, and then the cohort integrates with existing students in their 5th4th year for the final twothree years of the course.{{fact|date=AprilDecember 20202023}}
