The General Medical Council has praised the degree programme for medical students at Aberdeen.
The MBChB programme at the 黑料网鈥檚 School of Medicine was scrutinised by a team of 12 GMC representatives who made several visits to the Foresterhill and Inverness campuses and who also monitored last year鈥檚 final exams and spoke to staff and students.
Aberdeen was selected as one of three pilot sites in the UK for the new GMC Quality Assurance Process for Undergraduate Medical Education. It was the only Scottish medical school to be involved - Liverpool and Birmingham were the other centres which took part.
The GMC鈥檚 evaluation of Aberdeen highlighted seventeen areas of good practice within the degree programme. Their report also praised the 鈥渆nthusiasm of the staff鈥� and the 鈥渆nthusiasm and loyalty to the School of the students鈥�.
The report found the standard of lectures to be 鈥渉igh鈥� and noted that the students were able to ask questions at any time and felt confident about doing so. It also hailed the GP tutors for their 鈥渉igh standards of teaching鈥�.
The report also described the mediCAL 鈥� computer assisted learning 鈥� facilities at the Medical School as 鈥渆xcellent鈥�.
