It is a component of the [[~~Divisions~~Medical ofSciences ~~the~~Division, University of Oxford\|Medical Sciences Division]], and teaching is carried out in its various constituent departments. The Oxford Medical School is traditional in its teaching and is therefore split into Pre-Clinical and Clinical phases of the course, with Pre-Clinical (Years 1-3) students being based in the [[Science Area, Oxford\|University Science Area]] in [[Oxford]] City Centre, and Clinical students (Years 4-6) being based at the [[John Radcliffe Hospital]], in [[Headington]], Oxford.<ref>http://www.gmc-uk.org/Oxford_Medical_School_Final_Report.pdf_60201765.pdf</ref> ==Overview== ~~The Medical School was ranked 1st in the world by the 2016 Times Higher Education rankings of Universities for Pre-Clinical, Clinical and Health Studies.<ref>{{Cite web~~ The Oxford University School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences is traditional in its teaching and is therefore split into Pre-Clinical and Clinical phases of the course, with Pre-Clinical (Years 1–3) students being based in the [[Science Area, Oxford\|University Science Area]] in [[Oxford]] City Centre, and Clinical students (Years 4–6) being based at the [[John Radcliffe Hospital]], in [[Headington]], Oxford.<ref>{{cite web\| url=http://www.gmc-uk.org/Oxford_Medical_School_Final_Report.pdf_60201765.pdf \| title=Oxford Medical School Final Report \| format=PDF \| website=www.gmc-uk.org }}</ref> ~~\| url = https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/university-of-oxford?ranking-dataset=134377~~ \| title = University of Oxford▼ ~~\| website = Times Higher Education (THE)~~ ~~\| access-date = 2016-02-27~~ ~~}}</ref>~~ The medical school was ranked the 1st in the world by the 2019 [[Times Higher Education]] rankings of Universities for Pre-Clinical, Clinical and Health Studies (a position it has held for nine consecutive years).<ref>{{cite web\| url=https://www.medsci.ox.ac.uk/news/oxford-named-best-for-medicine-for-ninth-consecutive-year \| title=University of Oxford \| website=[[University of Oxford]] \|access-date=2020-01-16}}</ref> == Teaching ==▼ The medical school admits 150 students per year onto its 6 year [[Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery\|BM BCh]] course, which is a traditionally structured course consisting of two halves; a three year pre-clinical component with little patient contact and a high focus on the scientific principles of medical practice, and ends with the award of a [[Bachelor of Arts]] degree in Medical Sciences, and a three year clinical component with a high level of patient exposure that ends with the awarding of the BM BCh (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) degree, which provides provisional registration to the [[General Medical Council]], and entry to the [[Foundation Programme]].▼ The first female scholar admitted to the school was [[Christine Lee (academic)\|Christine Lee]].{{fact\|date=April 2020}} There is also an accelerated [[Postgraduate education\|Graduate]] Entry Course which leads to the award of BM BCh in 4 years, with approximately 30 in each cohort.
