Description	This module is one of eight similar modules, seven of which constitute the first year programme, with the eighth running alongside clinical experience in the second year. The PBL approach enables students to reframe and elaborate their existing learning while achieving deep learning of new concepts. The cases used will require students to learn about concepts from the biological and non-biological sciences in application to medicine, building an enhanced and relevant science base from which to begin the development of clinical skills. Coverage in this module relates to the processes of movement and their control and how actions may be reflex or result from conscious decisions. The module will also cover neuroanatomy and neurophysiology, the physical basis for thought, volition and cognition, the nature of cognitive processes and the causes and psychosocial effects of dementia.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module the student should be able to: 1. Demonstrate learning in relation to the biological and integrated health science issues raised during the module that contributes to their achievement of the detailed outcomes for the year. -The central nervous system: cognition and control -Neurological dysfunction -Stroke and rehabilitation -The social, psychological and emotional costs of chronic disease -The spine and its muscular support: back injury and health & safety legislation -Acute and chronic pain -Eye and brain: vision and visual defects 2. Demonstrate application of prior learning to the issues under consideration in this module and the effective assimilation of new learning in relation to medicine and its supporting disciplines. 3. Demonstrate a sense of responsibility for their own learning that will support their continuing academic and professional development. 4.
