These integrated courses will bring together basic scientists and practicing clinicians to teach about the presentation, diagnosis and management of the diseases affecting the different body system. The course will build on learning from courses in digestion, nutrition and disease mechanism in the early years. One group of students per week will be attached to the Oncology Unit at the Western General Hospital to learn general principles of cancer care.
