Introduction
The Trust works in partnership with the Hull York Medical School (HYMS) for training and
development purposes.
HYMS is the landmark new medical school established by the Universities of Hull and York, in partnership with
the NHS. Established in answer to a national need for more doctors, HYMS welcomed its first students in
September 2003.
HYMS offers an exciting and effective curriculum for the doctors of the 21st century. Innovative study methods
- including Problem-Based Learning (PBL), a virtual learning environment and a fully integrated curriculum -
are putting HYMS at the cutting edge of medical education. Students also experience clinical placements weekly
from the outset, spending time equally in hospital and community settings.
HYMS will award joint degrees from the Universities of Hull and York. Both institutions have considerable
experience in health and bioscience education. The University of Hull has a well-established Postgraduate
Medical Institute, with strong research activity in cardiovascular and respiratory medicine, gastrointestinal
and cancer surgery, and oncology. The University of York 's bio-science and health science departments are
very highly rated for both teaching and research, with particular strengths in molecular medicine, cancer
research and evidence-based health care. Together the two Universities give HYMS an enviable academic base. |
