General Requirements - faculty of medicine - handbook, 1963

Part I-Anatomy Physics

1. General Requirements

PEusoNAi. INTEнvIEw

All students, on applying for admission to the medical course, are required to be interviewed by the Secretary, Medical Branch, Registrar's 0L} еe.

MATmCULATION (Section 2)

Students qualified to do so must sign the Matriculation Roll in accordance with instructions given on page 21. Those who have passed the Matriculation Examination but who are not qualified to matriculate through being under age may apply for the consent of the Faculty of Medicine to enrol for First Year.

PRE-REQUISITES

(Section 2)

In addition to being qualified to matriculate, students must satisfy the following pre-requisites:

(a) pass the Matriculation Examination by passing in four subjects at the one examination at not more than two attempts;

(b) pass or obtain honours at the Matriculation Examination in Chemistry and in either Physics or a branch of Mathematics.

".As provided in the Regulation (p. 35), dispensation from these pre-requisites may be granted in special cases. Applications for any such dispensations, accompanied by details of special circumstances, must be lodged with the Secretary, Medical Branch, before the closing date for applications.

ADMISSION Ti THE FIRsт YEAR

Since the beginning of 1956, the number of students admitted to the course in Medicine has been restricted. The quota for 1963 is 160. The basis of selection is academic merit judged by reference to the Melbourne Matriculation Examination.

See further details concerning admission on page 21.

ADMISSION TO THE SECOND YEAR

Students in the First Year are required to present for examination in all three subjects since the Second" Year cannot be begun unless all three subjects have been passed in one examination.

Owing to limitations of accommodation and teaching facilities, the University may be obliged to limit the admission of students to the Second Year. Students who pass the Division I Examination will be permitted to proceed to the Second Year.

Other applicants (e.g. graduates and transferees from other faculties and ad eundem

statur

applicants) will be required to submit to any selective process for admission which the University finds it necessary to impose. See further details concerning admission on page 21.

ATTENDANCES AT LECTURES, DEMONSTRATIONS AND PRACTICAL WORE

(Sections 1, 3 and 5)

Attendances at lectures, demonstrations, practical work and clinical instruction are compulsory and, in addition, competent performance in carrying out the duties and work , prescribed in all subjects is required. Failure to comply with these requirements may lead to disqualification from presenting at examinations. Students

so disqualified will usually, be notified hi writing by the Faculty of Мedicinе, but the faculty is not bound to give such notification.

Students prevented by illness or other serious cause from satisfying attendance requirements should report their absences to the Secretary, Medical Branch, Registrar's ObTice so that dispensation may be granted by the faculty, if necessary:

On commencing Division III students should purchase a Certificate Book (price 4/-) at the Accounts Branch of the Registrar's Office. It is a student's responsibility to have the details of all certificates entered, the certificates signed by the authorized persons, and the Certificate Book submitted to the University at any time when asked for by the. Registrar. No student will be permitted to present for the final M.B., B.S. Examination unless all certificates have been signed by the authorized persons and the certificates submitted as evidence of the satisfactory completion of all details prescribed for the course.

The provisions in the details and time-table as to the number of lectures, tutorials, etc., and the hours of practical work are included for general guidance only, and may be modified by the faculty without notice if the necessity arises.

VACATION STUDY

Students are expected to use a considerable part of the vacations for reading and study purposes. In some cases specific references are made in the following details;

in others a list of suitable books will be posted on the appropriate notice-boards; in all cases of doubt the lecturers concerned should be consulted.

HONOUR Worm

Except in subjects where special details are published, the syllabus for Honours will be the same as that for Pass, but the Examination for Honours will require the candidates to attain a higher standard and to show more detailed knowledge.

Students who fail in the Sub-Division IIA and Division II Examinations may repeat the year only if permitted to do

so.

Those who fail in these examinations twice, and those who, at their first attempt, perform in a manner considered to be unsatisfactory or who are absent from the examinations without an acceptable excuse, may be excluded from the course.

There are

no

restrictions upon repetition of Divisions III and IV.
