The words to use
- Problem-based learning (PBL)
- A teaching style in which clinical cases drive what you learn, rather than lectures coming first. It often comes with earlier patient contact.
- Integrated curriculum
- Science taught alongside clinical training, often organised by body system, instead of all the science coming first.
- Prosection
- An anatomy specimen that has already been dissected, used for teaching instead of students dissecting a whole body themselves.
- Programme specification
- The formal document setting out a course's structure, teaching and assessment. Duller than a prospectus, and far more useful for checkable facts.
