The School of Medicine at the University of Manchester is one of the largest in the UK with around 2,000 undergraduates, 700 postgraduates and 1,300 staff.[1] The school is divided into five separate divisions, also called schools, one of which, Manchester Medical School is responsible for medical undergraduate tuition. The others, Community-Based Medicine, Translational Medicine, Clinical and Laboratory Sciences, and Cancer and Imaging Sciences are primarily postgraduate and research divisions.
[edit] History
The School of Anatomy at Manchester Royal Infirmary was opened by Joseph Jordan in 1814. The Royal Manchester School of Medicine and Surgery did not open until 1874, and medical degrees were awarded from 1883.
The medical school expanded in the 1950s, culminating in the opening of the Stopford Building in 1973, and providing clinical studies for students who had completed their pre-clinical studies at St Andrews.
[edit] The Medical School today
Pre-clinical teaching is based in the Stopford Building in Manchester. Clinical teaching takes place in four sites in northwest England: Manchester Royal Infirmary, Salford Royal, Wythenshawe Hospital, and Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
Students who have completed their pre-clinical education at the Bute Medical School, University of St Andrews join students who have completed pre-clinical years in Manchester to do their clinical years together.
