A summary of information about medical school examinations

UBMS uses a list of presentations to ensure that students are exposed to all the presentations that a doctor will experience multiple times in their course both in teaching and assessment. Summative assessments are planned, so that students will revisit these presentations multiple times.

Message to students from the University regarding the use of AI in assessments

AI is a potentially powerful tool, however care must be taken in its use in an educational context. Your educators will be looking for opportunities to incorporate the use of AI into your programme of study for appropriate tasks.

As students you should adopt the default position that AI is allowed only when specifically stated. It is very unlikely that AI generated content is permitted in a summative assessment.  If in any doubt, it is your responsibility to clarify the situation before you use AI.

When tasks are set it should become routinely stated whether and how the use of AI is allowed.

When you use AI, you must state that you have done so and how, referencing the source.  Failure to do so will be regarded as Academic Misconduct.

During the course, students will be taught the benefits and potential issues with AI generated material and how to reference AI material properly.
