The School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University of Sheffield is a medical school active in three fields of medicine: teaching, researching and practising. The medical school was founded in 1828. The school operated independently as the Sheffield School of Medicine until its mergers with Firth College in 1879 and with Sheffield Technical School in 1884. In 1897 the schools were renamed University College Sheffield. The University of Sheffield Medical School is one of 32 bodies entitled by the General Medical Council (GMC) to award medical degrees in the United Kingdom. The GMC is the body responsible for registering doctors to practise medicine as well as regulating medical education and training in the United Kingdom.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=www.gmc-uk.org General Medical Council )〕 Applying for a place to study Medicine at Sheffield is competitive.
