The DPHCM staff teach at the University of Sydney in the following Key Areas:
Graduate Medical Program (GMP) with an emphasis on teaching the GMP III Community Doctor Theme and EBM PEARLS
- EBM PEARLS (Presentations of Evidence Abstracted from the Research Literature for the Solution of Real Individuals' Clinical Problems). The general objectives of the course are (1) to use a structured model which applies the principles of evidence based medicine to solve real clinical problems; and (2) to gain practical experience of short presentations and prompt specific feedback. For more information please see http://www.gmp.usyd.edu.au
- Community and Doctor Theme is a course designed around fourteen topic-modules, and conducted mainly in small groups with a tutor facilitator. Its aim is to extend students' focus beyond the hospitals' four walls and patients' views in the context of the wider community. A variety of issues are explored, ranging from patient support issues, through population subgroups with special needs and finally some bigger picture issues within our health system.
