| Year 1 Student Selected Component | SSC1 is a 10-week project undertaken in the first year of the MBChB programme. Students work in groups of approximately 8 students under the guidance of a tutor to conduct a simple research/audit/quality improvement/literature review project that has been suggested by their tutor. The onus is on the students to create and run the project, with the tutor there to help oversee it. At the culmination of their project the students are asked to produce and present a scientific poster of their work and a 200-word scientific abstract of their work which is marked. The purpose of this module is to teach Y1 MBChB students basic research principles and for them to experience working in a group. We are looking for 30+ tutors for this class. These can be clinical fellows, core/specialty trainees or consultant level staff. The project runs for ten weeks from January to April of 2026. We ask that tutors meet with students 5 times minimum in this time - these can be online via Teams or in person at the University. We also ask that tutors are available to respond to student emails within 48 hours. Tutors come from a wide range of specialties and they often guide students to create research projects in an area that is of interest to them. It is a rewarding and fun experience for tutors and students alike. | Clinical Fellows, Core/Specialty Trainees, SAS or Consultants | Dr Beth Langton |
