Redbridge, Waltham Forest & Harrow Aspiring Medic's Day

On 11th December 2021, the outreach team was back in action as they ran another Aspiring Medic’s Day! Students from all three boroughs had the opportunity to join this morning event, as many topics of interest were covered, including admission tests, interviews, and getting the grades / applying to medical school.

Carrying on from our previous talks, we invited physicians and medical students to shed light on their day-to-day lives in their respective careers, their motivations to enter medicine, and advice to impart to aspiring medics.

The event was positively received, with a few examples of what the participants enjoyed about the day:

“I enjoyed gaining a better insight on each of the speakers life; how they cope with work life and home considering how it is a job that requires a lot of time and can be stressful. It was useful to understand the interview process from someone who is actually in the panel and the tips given were very helpful.”

“Having my questions answered! It was exciting and I was very curious!”

“I got answers of the questions asked,and also knowing a recent student doing Medical University was really helpful”

We would like to thank our participants and speakers for making this Aspiring Medic’s Day a success, and we look forward to welcoming you to our next talk!
