All subjects within the medical course are interdisciplinary in that they
have input from several departments.
Teaching by an individual department is appropriate to each `bodily system'
being studied and therefore does not follow a conventional sequential pattern.
It is therefore not possible to equate a subject in the medical course to an
equivalent subject elsewhere.
The small number of medical students who have previously undertaken tertiary
studies may individually, after consultation with subject conveners, be exempt
from some components (eg practical classes) of a subject.
However, all students must participate in a common assesment process and pass
all prescribed subjects within the medical course.
