There will also be on-call duties.
Students will be required to undertake self-directed reading of medical journals based on their clinical specialism in order to build up an understanding of the leading edge medical practice.
Students will be required to maintain an e-portfolio detailing their clinical experience and they will need to show reflection on that experience. The e-portfolio will be monitored by the supervisor to ensure that it meets requisite standards.
