Summer Job for Medical Student

xmc2017

Hi, I am a 1st year postgrad Medical Student at King's College London. (previous degree in biomed)

I would like to earn some money over summer (ideally part time) in a job in London with some relevant medical experience if possible. What sort of jobs/opportunities are possible for someone in my position? Not sure where to start!

Many thanks for your help!

As a med student, there's nothing medical clinically that you can do that would earn you money. There are other clinical roles that you could consider, like HCA / phlebotomy, but there will be some training involved for these, and being a med student won't be an equivalence that means you can bypass that training. You'd probably have to do it as agency if it were just for a few months, and again it can take a fair amount of time to get set up with an agency / do the training / do all the paperwork and clearance that's needed. Also, agency = no guarantee of work.

If you're in London clinical trials are always an option. Huge moral value as well as financial, and in London a wide variety should be available from psychology questionnaires to imaging studies to Flu Camp to proper vaccine and medical trials.
