Description including Unit Aims

The aim of the Classroom to Clinic (C2C) unit is to bridge the gap and aid the transition from the primarily classroom based curriculum to clinical rotations undertaken at Langford and with extramural providers. The unit aims to enable students to prepare for, and further develop their understanding of, the clinical workplace; to reinforce their clinical skills, logical approach to cases, clinical reasoning, communication skills and team work; and to enhance their understanding of feedback. The unit will involve practical and experiential components with taught, self-directed and group learning activities.
