  • 2016-17 Department: UCL Medical School Faculty: Medical Sciences CONNECTED CURRICULUM
    UCL QUALITY REVIEW FRAMEWORK - ANNEX 6.1.3: ASER DEVELOPMENT & ENHANCEMENT PLAN Academic Session: 2016-17 Department: UCL Medical School Faculty: Medical Sciences CONNECTED CURRICULUM Last session, Departments were invited to discuss how they intended to begin their preliminary assessment of their taught provision by benchmarking each programme against the grid in the Connected Curriculum Enhancement Guide. Programmes were asked to evaluate and clearly state where the programme or cluster of similar programmes was benchmarked in relation to each dimension of the Connected Curriculum. In this section, Departments are asked to indicate the extent to which their programme(s) reflect each of the six dimensions, to highlight notable examples of good practice, and (in the Development and Enhancement plan below) to list up to six actions that the department/programme team will now take to enhance the programme(s) over the next two to three years. Departments will then be asked to review progress in relation to these actions in the Autumn 2019 ASER. The broad evaluation of the programme(s) as ‘Beginning’, ‘Developing’, ‘Developed’ or ‘Outstanding’ for each dimension will enable the Department/Programme Leader to track progress in relation to all six dimensions over time. It is intended to be a broadly agreed description of current practice in the programme(s) as a whole. General guidance on interpreting these terms is found on p6-7 of the Connected Curriculum online guide: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/teaching-learning/sites/teaching-learning/files/connected_curriculum_brochure_21_june_2017.pdf Departments may also find the ‘Twenty Questions’ on p10 helpful. If you have a large number of UG programmes in your department, a suggested approach is to use this form to provide a departmental summary of your programmes and then to identify those particular programmes which are excelling or which need more development by completing a form with a summary for each programme (or cluster of very similar programmes).

  • Medical Students in England and France, 1815-1858
    FLORENT PALLUAULT D.E.A., archiviste paléographe MEDICAL STUDENTS IN ENGLAND AND FRANCE 1815-1858 A COMPARATIVE STUDY University of Oxford Faculty of Modern History - History of Science Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor in Philosophy Trinity 2003 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In the first instance, my most sincere gratitude goes to Dr Ruth Harris and Dr Margaret Pelling who have supervised this thesis. Despite my slow progress, they have supported my efforts and believed in my capacities to carry out this comparative study. I hope that, despite its defects, it will prove worthy of their trust. I would like to thank Louella Vaughan for providing an interesting eighteenth-century perspective on English medical education, sharing her ideas on my subject and removing some of my misconceptions. Similarly, I thank Christelle Rabier for her support and for our discussions regarding her forthcoming thesis on surgery in England and France. My thanks naturally go to the staff of the various establishments in which my research has taken me, and particularly to the librarians at the Wellcome Library for the History and Understanding of Medicine in London, the librarians in the History of Science Room at the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris, and to Bernadette Molitor and Henry Ferreira-Lopes at the Bibliothèque Inter-Universitaire de Médecine in Paris. I am grateful to Patricia Gillet from the Association d’entraide des Anciens élèves de l’École des Chartes for the financial support that the Association has given me and to Wes Cordeau at Texas Supreme Mortgage, Inc. for the scholarship that his company awarded me.
