Description

The purpose of SCIF1111 is to introduce students to two really useful sets of skills: work readiness and an awareness of the philosophy and historical development of medical science.

The work-readiness course component aims to equip students with the skills of teamwork, professionalism and communication as well as sense of community. These skills are necessary for university life, for gaining internships and work placements, and for their longer-term career. The history and philosophy element of this course aims to provide students with an insight into how medical science has developed, and its connection with health care and society.
