Undergraduate Teaching
by Foundation Doctors - Mondays 6-7pm
Sessions focus on being on call as a foundation doctor. Sessions
are highly interactive with role-playing of situations commonly
encountered during on call shifts, such as:
• reviewing the acutely unwell patient
• reviewing prescriptions
• handing over to seniors
• talking to concerned families
Students will be ‘left’ to manage the situations as they will be
expected to do as an FY1
