Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Looking for medical (preferably non-paying haha) summer schools/taster days?

Just Googled it and all I could find was the international ones and I don't think I could go on them since I'm a UK resident.
Has anyone been on such things before haha? XD Any experiences?? :smile:

The Royal Society of Medicine run a good graduate entry medicine evening.

Imperial does a medicine day, think it's fairly cheap if not free.

The Sutton Trust does a summer school, though you need to meet certain socioeconomic eligibility criteria, I believe.

Alternatively most, if not all, of the info you could possibly want to know about applying to or going to medical school can be found right here on TSR, if you're willing to take a bit of time to read the Wiki pages and sticky threads :smile:

If it's actual first hand experience of medicine that you're after, speak to your local hospital about shadowing placements.
