Ooo i hate PBLs....yet i think PBL sessions have been the best means to get to know the rest of the year. I would rather spend an equal amount of time in the ward looking out for real patients

pbl is a great way of learning provided the system is used properly.In junior years it help us to think like a doctor since we have to find out by ourself how to solve each problem to the best

Yeah pbl is ace , at hyms we see patients in clinical settings once a week , and the rest of the week is structured around pbl, it gives us problems and learning outcomes to solve which we will have to do as the doctor this is then supported by lectures practicals and culminates in yoru clinical placement so everything youve done in the week you can apply at placement , and it has worked really well , and i feel that coming into phase 2 ( year 3) im much more prepared than i would of been if i just had lectures for 2 years.

Trust me its a lot better than being taught systems based. [What are the alternatives by the way to systems and pbl?]. Here at GKT in london we're taught systems in year 3 [although this is about to change to 6weeks clinical followed by 6 weeks lectures/seminars etc] and it is totally disproportionate to the problems and situations that we will be facing in RL.

At Newcastle they do case base appraoch, is that a diff name for systems based? I like case based approach, because not only do you learn about the case and the effects that goes along with it, but you learn everything connected to it. And i prefer it asyou taught evrything on the matter, yes a bit daunting but feels satifying afta!

The alternative to PBL and Systems based is Subject Based, which is used at Oxford, Cambridge and St Andrews. There, you are taught in terms of subjects such as anatomy, physiology, pharm, path, embryology etc. so you'll do all the anatomy in one go, then move on to physiology, then to biochemistry, then..... et hoc genus omne.

If you mean transferring for large part of course, probably next to no chance, if just for a period of time (semester/term/8 week block etc) you're looking at ERASMUS type placements (if your university has reciprocal arrangement with UK university to spend some time here, if not, UK universities do look for new unis, so may be worth speaking to your uni, seeing if there is a scheme, and if not persuading them to start one). Also, there are exchanges via IFMSA (International Federation of Medical Student Associations) these have to be supported by med schools, but your national medical student association may be able to organise. Varies uni to uni when in the course you can do this (clinical or pre-clinical, and matched to what you've already done).
