AGIP teaching schedule 2007 - 2008

The course is four years in length with extra time to complete clinical requirements if necessary. Teaching is grouped into three terms of ten weeks each year, with a half term reading week each term. The course is taught on Wednesdays from 5pm to 9.30pm plus two weekends (either Saturday or Sunday) each term.

Applicants should note that the curriculum is under regular review and development. The plans below give an indication of the general themes and trends taught over the four years of the course. Although some seminars are taught in year groups, where possible different year groups train together. This forms a strong trainee body rather than emphasising separate heirarchical years. For a current copy of the programme of seminars or dates of our Open Days that will give you more detail, contact AGIP office.
