Undergraduate programmes
The Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB) is a six year degree taught across several schools in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences. The Department of Medicine contributes to teaching and assessment in the MBChB programme throughout the entire course, but our greatest component of teaching takes place in Years four, five and six during clinical attachment practicums.
Students already enrolled in the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery are overseen by the Medical Programme Directorate which administers the overall degree. Clinical attachments in medicine are organised at a number of DHB hospitals, including Auckland, Middlemore, North Shore, Waitakere, Whangarei, Waikato, Rotorua, Taranaki and Tauranga to give students a broad experience of different hospitals, clinicians and patients.
