Description	This is a required component which revisits learning in previous modules in addition to covering some additional outcomes. The PBL approach enables students to reframe and enhance their existing learning while achieving deep learning of new concepts. The cases used will require students to learn about concepts from biological and non- biological sciences in relation to medicine, building an enhanced and relevant science base from which to begin the development of clinical skills.
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: 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. Demonstrate a sense of responsibility for their own learning that will support their continuing academic and professional development. Recognise the value of co-operative group learning and demonstrate a willingness to share their own knowledge, experience and insights with other members of their learning group. 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.
