Manchester Medical School is the medical school of the University of Manchester. Manchester has operated a pioneering Problem Based Learning curriculum since 1994.
[edit] History
The School of Anatomy at Manchester Royal Infirmary was opened by Joseph Jordan in 1814. The Royal Manchester School of Medicine and Surgery did not open until 1874, and medical degrees were awarded from 1883.
The medical school expanded in the 1950s, culminating in the opening of the Stopford Building in 1973, and providing clinical studies for students who had completed their pre-clinical studies at St Andrews.
[edit] The Medical School today
Pre-clinical teaching is based in the Stopford Building in Manchester. Clinical teaching takes place in five sites over North West England - Manchester Royal Infirmary, Hope Hospital, Wythenshawe Hospital, Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the University Hospital of North Staffordshire (in conjunction with Keele University Medical School). However, as of September 2005 clinical placements for Manchester students are no longer available at North Staffordshire.
As of 2006 applicants will be required to sit the UKCAT admission test. Information about the test and preparation can be found at UKCAT
Students who have completed pre-clinical education at the Bute Medical School, University of St Andrews join students who have completed preclinical years in Manchester to do their clinical years together.
