In order to commence workplace learning outside of the University of Tasmania (including clinical placements and visits) students are required to demonstrate compliance with the Faculty of Health Science and School of Medicine policies relevant to workplace based learning. These include the Police Check Policy and Safe in Practice Kit, Infectious Disease Policy, Code of Conduct and Student Placement Agreement. Students who do not comply with these policies will not be placed or will be removed from placements and therefore will not be able to complete this unit. Students who have not complied or are unsure of the policies should seek guidance from the School.

This unit sees students moving into a more clinically focussed environment, through the study of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems. As in first year, the weeks are organised around cases, with accompanying material delivered by lectures, tutorials, practicals, and on-line components. Basic medical sciences are taught in parallel with clinically focussed material. Communication and clinical skills are developed in parallel with the systems covered, and the community visits program commenced in CAM102 continues. Rural week will involve groups of students visiting a country district for one week..The second year will lay the foundation for a more integrated patient-centred approach to medicine, which will be further developed and emphasised in following years.
The Medical Graduate Profile (MGP) defines the outcomes expected of students on completion of the new MBBS curriculum. The curriculum has 5 themes as an organising principle under which the outcomes are grouped. The 5 themes are:
1. Human Health and Disease;
2. Communication and Collaboration;
3. Community Health and Disease;
4. Personal and Professional Development;
5. Integration.
Students must demonstrate satisfactory performance in all 5 themes in order to successfully complete the unit.
