Insight into Medicine
The Insight into Medicine course offers students an exciting introduction to the world of medicine as a career, as well as a valuable insight into the day to day realities of life as a doctor. Led by our team of friendly and knowledgeable tutors, the course will look at the key milestones for individual physicians, including selecting a career specialism and life in the early years of a medical career. We will also consider the skill set required to succeed as a doctor and how to begin to develop and demonstrate those strengths. Students will also learn about the broader role of the NHS in managing public health, from tackling social inequalities to developing and deploying new drugs and treatments.
A combination of mini-lectures, role-play activities, seminar discussions, and exercises will ensure that students have plenty of opportunity to benefit from the expertise of their tutor, and to apply their knowledge in a friendly and inclusive setting. This small group format ensures plenty of opportunities for questions and individual advice.
By the end of the day, you’ll not only have a clearer vision of what it’s like to study and work in medicine, but you’ll also have built the confidence to move forward, whether that’s maximising your chances at interview, making an informed decision about applying to medical school or continuing your exploration with a new sense of purpose.
