Fundamentals of Clinical and Physiological Sciences (SURG0171)

Building on the introductory module which allows students to rapidly form part of the clinical team, module 2 integrates a traditional biological sciences approach to major physiological systems and how they apply to common pathological conditions seen in surgical and medical patients.  This module is designed to equip students with the ability to assess a patient by recording a good clinical history, undertaking a comprehensive physical examination and request, review and interpret clinical data.
The trainee will gain an understanding of integrated physiology alongside relevant physical sciences, healthcare technologies and measurement. Principles of systematic patient interactions and recognition of an unwell patient are introduced.

The aim of this module is to provide an introduction to the sociological perspective and to offer theoretical tools for understanding the modern world.

Russian Cinema: Innovation and Experiment Affiliates (SERS0099)

This module is only for affiliate students at UCL for Term 1 only.

 The films covered in this module belong to the experimental tradition in twentieth century Russian and Soviet cinema. These works rejected the mainstream cinematic conventions of the day and sought to subvert them and explore new means of visual expression. Students will be expected to engage with a range of theoretical texts where relevant. There will be accompanying lectures which discuss technical and aesthetic developments in cinema generally from the beginnings of cinema to the present day. The chronological period covered by this course ranges from the pre-revolutionary silent period through to the early 2000s. The module is divided into four parts, each part covering a period of five weeks, with four films studied in each part along with one accompanying lecture. You are given detailed background information on each film (the lecture notes on Moodle) which raises points of discussion for the tutorial hour. Russian is not a prerequisite for this module because the films selected, with one exception, exist with English subtitles. Please note that this module is assessed by coursework assignment only, and that therefore prior experience of discussing/analysing film in written form will be to your advantage.
