The role

Within the Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, on the undergraduate BMBS programme the Professional Development Group (PDG) Tutor role is available in all five years of the BMBS undergraduate curriculum and in all localities in Devon - Exeter, Torbay (Wednesdays) and North Devon (Wednesdays - presently full), and Cornwall - Truro, Penryn (Tuesdays).

Year 3 on Monday / Year 2 on Tuesday / Year 5 on Wednesday / Year 1 on Thursday / Year 4 on Friday. Year 1 groups are only available in Exeter. The sessions are usually timetabled to be regularly in a morning or an afternoon through the year. It may be possible to swap to a different year group at the end of the academic year. Twelve group sessions are scheduled for each group in the academic year, and then students usually have two or 3 one to one meetings with their tutor over the year to discuss their progress and specific needs.
