Interested in Medicine? The Mini Medical School is a health education series, featuring a different aspect of medicine each week.
Designed for pupils considering applying to Medical School, this programme gives you the opportunity to get a taster of the range of topics covered in Medical Education.
Taught by Medical Professionals and with opportunities to talk to current Medical Students, topics include: Cardiology, Respiratory, Pharmacology, Heart and Lung Transplant Service, Mental Illness, and Clinical Communication. There will also be a session from the Careers Network Team, which will cover, making an effective application, writing your personal statement and interview techniques.
The course is fun and informative, and provides a scientific background to improve your understanding of the human body, the doctor’s role and health issues facing us today.
The Mini Medical School does not attempt to fulfill any academic requirements. You won’t get a medical degree nor can you practice medicine, but you will get a chance to learn about medicine from medics.
