The Norwich Medical School Graduate Entry Medicine course offers an exciting and innovative four-year pathway to becoming a doctor.

Incorporating the latest medical educational techniques, our dynamic course is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in your future medical career and emerge as a leading doctor.

Youll be taught through a combination of interactive face-to-face sessions, carefully curated online resources, and small group work. Our spiral curriculum ensures you encounter key material multiple times, reinforcing and deepening your learning throughout the course.

From the very beginning of your studies and throughout the course, as a graduate medical student, youll spend time with patients, immersing yourself in patient care. In your third year, youll undertake a transformative 20-week longitudinal integrated clerkship placement, where youll be embedded within a General Practice. This opportunity allows you to follow a cohort of patients and gain a profound understanding of the factors influencing their health.

Placements are strategically located at three hubs across Norfolk and Waveney (Kings Lynn, Great Yarmouth, and Norwich), ensuring you become deeply embedded in the community. This approach not only enhances your direct patient care experience but also involves you in quality improvement projects aimed at elevating local healthcare. During the admissions process, well work with you to determine your preferred placement hub, aligning your training with your career goals.
