Teaching The main teaching responsibility of the Department is for pre-clinical Medicine students and those reading Biomedical Sciences. There are also contributions to teaching in Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, Human Sciences, Physics, and a graduate Neuroscience MSc programme. In Oxford, Medicine students take a three-year preclinical course before proceeding to clinical training (a further three years). The first five terms of the three-year pre-clinical course provide broad training in all aspects of medical science (leading to the 1st BM qualification). Both pre-clinical Medicine and Biomedical Sciences students spend the last four terms of their course studying for a BA degree, selecting two Advanced Options from a choice of ten, ranging from systems physiology and neuroscience to cellular and molecular science. Both cohorts also undertake an experimental project, which forms one paper in their final examination; these projects are supervised by members of the academic staff. The Department also contributes some preclinical teaching to the first part of the Graduate entry Medicine course. 7 Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in DPAG The Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics (DPAG) is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community.
