Facilities In Medicine
Our Medicine course is supported by well equipped teaching and clinical facilities designed to support your learning every step of the way. From specialist libraries and laboratories to hands on clinical training spaces, these facilities help you build your knowledge and practical skills
Anatomy teaching
At Sheffield, we make sure your anatomy teaching is practical, inspiring, and relevant to your clinical practice. You’ll benefit from a combination of expert-led teaching, real human plastinated specimens, and advanced digital resources.
We’ve recently invested in 22 Anatomage tables, one of the most advanced 3D anatomy visualisation tools available. This makes the University of Sheffield number one in the world for Anatomage content delivery. These full-size interactive digital tables let you explore the human body layer by layer, rotate and isolate structures, and simulate different clinical conditions. It’s a powerful tool for linking anatomical knowledge to scenarios you may face as a doctor.
Clinical skills teaching
Throughout your time at Sheffield you'll develop your clinical skills in a safe, simulated environment. You’ll use high-fidelity manikins and the latest VR equipment to build your confidence and competence throughout your degree.
Our facilities reflect what is currently used in the workplace, and provide support for the teaching, learning and assessment of students across our undergraduate, postgraduate and apprenticeship programmes.
During your clinical skills teaching you'll also work with our Patients as Educators, volunteer patients who will support the development of your clinical and communication skills, and share their real-life experiences of living with a range of health conditions.
