The project was initially set up by medical undergraduates specifically
because of the deficit of training in part of the standard undergraduate
curriculum. This is slowly being rectified but there is no uniform
provision across different universities.
I was a tutor on the first CAMS week a few years ago and the format
was very much the small group, participant driven, problem based
methodology of the standard EBM workshops.
