OVERVIEW Phase 2 This phase extends over two years and is designed to: - • Continue and expand the generic skills development with emphasis on the professional aspects. • Emphasise critical thinking and foster insight into the essential role of research in healthcare including aspects of molecular medicine and genetics. • Commence the development of non-invasive clinical skills at the individual (history taking and physical examination) and community (health promotion) level. • Introduce students to disease processes and to global as well as national aspects of disease control • Commence the development of invasive clinical skills • Focus on professional development by exploration of the legal, moral, ethical and economic aspects of safe effective medical practice. YEAR 2 MODULES There are seven modules in the 2 nd Medical year accruing 60 credits in total. The seven modules are; Module 1: Molecular & Translational Medicine Module 2: Clinical Biochemistry Module 3: Principles of Pharmacology and Practical Scientific Research Module 4: Head and Neck Anatomy Module 5: Neurosciences Module 6: Aetiology, mechanisms of disease Module 7: Fundamentals of Clinical and Professional Practice 4
Module 1: MOLECULAR & TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE ECTS Value 5 credits Lecturers Dr. Paula Murphy Dr. Kevin Mitchell Prof. Veronica Campbell Prof. Yuri Volkov Prof. Andrew Bowie Prof. Dermot Kelleher, Dr. Maureen O’Sullivan Prof. Mark Lawler Dr. Paul Spiers Dr. Henry Windle Dr. Derek Morris Dr. Richard Anney Contact Hours The module comprises 28 lectures given by a number of academic and clinical specialists with prominent expertise in their areas. The students will be also provided with an opportunity to carry out small group projects on the grounds of the biomedical research facilities of the Trinity College’s Institute of Molecular Medicine at St. James’s Hospital Campus. Additional tutorials dealing with specific aspects of Molecular Medicine can be arranged by request. Self-study hours are expected to be determined individually by the students. If required, the students will be provided with additional explanatory comments and self-study resources by the lecturers in their relevant subjects. Aims Recent years have witnessed a rapid accumulation of knowledge in molecular basis of human diseases, giving the rise to Molecular Medicine as a discipline providing an insight into the mechanisms of development of pathological processes at molecular level. Molecular Medicine continuously supplies new powerful tools for diagnostics, therapeutic drug development, ethiotropic and pathogenetic treatment of a wide range of ailments, including some of those, which were previously considered incurable. Medical graduates with a good knowledge of Molecular Medicine have a potential of significantly improving the current diagnostic and therapeutic routines and may form strong liaisons between hospitals, diagnostic labs, biomedical research institutions, and pharmaceutical industry for the ultimate benefit of patients’ treatment. This course is aimed to provide medical students with powerful knowledge in the molecular mechanisms of human disease development and related cutting edge diagnostic tools. The module is designed for the medical students of the second year (Senior Freshman) and represents and integral component of the Trinity College undergraduate medical curriculum. The attendance of the course and examinations are mandatory for all the students. 5
