Consensus statement on the ‘Overall learning outcomes for Student Selected Component (SSC) programmes in Scottish Medical Schools’

'Student Selected Components (SSCs) are an integral part of the undergraduate medical curriculum contributing to the overall curricular learning outcomes and providing students’ choice in studying in depth an area of particular interest. The principal learning outcome is the progressive development of skills in research, critical appraisal, and synthesis of evidence for maintaining good medical practice. The SSCs contribute to the development of a broad range of personal and professional skills, such as teamworking, communication, time and resource management, teaching and education skills, the ability to reflect and self-directed learning. They also provide opportunities to explore career options.'
