Medical and Human Sciences - previous Student Interns
Jordan Goodchild: 2007/08
Jordan was our intern during his 5th year at Manchester University having joined in 2003. He had aready completed an intercalated BSc in Pathology and was on his 4th year of a medicine degree.
He learned through problem based learning (PBL) almost exclusively during his time at University and joined CEEBL to help other students become familiar with the benefits that enquiry based learning (EBL) offers in terms of both academic achievement and personal development.
Prior to the CEEBL Internship he had been involved in the peer mentoring scheme and the medicine graduation committee.

Peer mentoring allowed Mary to contribute to life within the School of Pharmacy by helping to create a warm and friendly environment for new students whilst developing her own skills. Mary was a staff/student representative at The University of Manchester for three years, a role which involved regular meetings and working to resolve issues. She was also a project coordinator for ‘Student Action’ where she organized groups of students to do volunteer work with the homeless.
In her first year as Student Intern for MHS, Mary helped to set up Enquiry-Based Learning within the first year of the Pharmacy degree, so that students are able to experience EBL at the beginning of their studies. This required her to be involved in the whole process from the initial bid through to the implementation and finally assessment of the project.
Her work at the CEEBL also allowed her to work on a variety of projects in other subject areas within the faculty and to run focus groups to help assess the effectiveness of their EBL programmes. She also attended many workshops and conferences. She particularly enjoyed the HEFCE higher education conference in Birmingham, where she had the opportunity to discuss her work within the CEEBL.
She believes that EBL is essential within Medicine and Life Sciences as it aids the students in their transition to and during their future careers. Mary says "There is a vast amount of EBL occurring within the faculty and some very exciting projects which I am very much looking forward to working on over the coming year".
