University of Nottingham Medical School at Derby

University of Nottingham Medical School at Derby

The University of Nottingham Medical School at Derby was opened in September 2003 by Dr John Reid, then Secretary of State for Health. It is part of the University of Nottingham and is located in the nearby city of Derby in the East Midlands of England. It offers a four-year Graduate Entry Medical (GEM) course (initially for 90 students).

The medical school is attached to Derby City General Hospital and houses a lecture theatre, anatomy suite and clinical skills teaching facility. Additionally, students have assigned problem-based learning base rooms.

Entrance to the GEM course is via the GAMSAT examination followed by a structured interview process. Competition for places is fierce, with usually over 1200 students applying for the 90 places. The course accepts people from both scientific and non science degree backgrounds.

The course consists of a one and half year pre-clinical phase which is centred around problem-based learning cases. Following successful completion of this course students then join with the five year course students for a two and a half year clinical phase.
