Young Doctors Summer School
The Young Doctors Summer School offers an introduction to the world of medicine for younger students. This Summer School is structured so that more academic sessions are interspersed with fun and enjoyable activities which are designed to test and apply the theoretical knowledge gained. As well as mini-lectures and seminars, students will take part in role play and case study scenarios, where they take the role of practitioners and consultants – diagnosing and recommending treatment options. There will also be experiments, group work and quizzes on each day.
For 2023, we will offer a two-day online course, covering some of the most important aspects of medical study, including how to deakl with patients, and take a medical history, as well as some common problems within the disciplines of Cardiology, the Respiratory System and Neurology.
Taught by charismatic and inspiring medical students, this course is ideal for students aged 11-14 who would like to get a real taste of what medical school might be like, tailored to an appropriate level of background knowledge. It offers a great insight into life as a junior doctor, and will allow students to gain a good perspective on whether a career in medicine might be something that they would enjoy.

Practical Details
The Young Doctors Summer School is open to students aged 11 – 14 and will take place on the 22nd – 23rd July (and repeated on the 12th – 13th August)..
The online course is two days in length, and teaching hours on each day will run from 10.00am till 3.30pm, with a lunch break.
These are live online events, with small seminar groups offering fully interactive classroom discussion and debate (much as you would expect from our in-person courses).
