The Edge Hill medicine course at a glance
A hybrid of case-based and team-based learning, and one genuinely unusual policy: Edge Hill allocates students to a specific hospital for the duration of their training rather than rotating them between sites.
How Edge Hill teaches medicine
A "hybrid of case-based and team-based learning alongside extensive clinical skills and simulation training"; the first two years use "a hybrid model of case-based learning and team-based learning", plus lectures, seminars, practicals and tutorials.
