Introduction
The Cambridge Graduate Course in medicine (CGC) is open to arts, humanities and science graduates who meet admissions requirements. It operates in conjunction with the West Suffolk Hospital, general practices in the West Suffolk area and four graduate Colleges: Hughes Hall, Lucy Cavendish, St Edmund’s (which will be taking students from 2018-19), and Wolfson. The Colleges provide academic and pastoral support as well as contributing to the selection process. The base for learning core medical science is the School of Biological Sciences; the main clinical base is the West Suffolk Hospital and, each year, students are attached to a local General Practice where they have the opportunity to become part of the practice team, learn medicine in the community context and experience the long-term relationships that GPs and their practice staff have with their patients. Students also spend time at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge and, during Year 3 speciality placements, gain experience in Regional Partner NHS Trust hospitals and general practices throughout the East of England.
