About Medics&Me

Medics&Me is driven by the goal of enabling students from every background to have equal opportunities through insights to medicine and how to excel in a medical application. Our focus is on schools and colleges who are part of the widening participation programme and we have formally partnered with a Teach First School. Our aim is that every potential medical student from a widening participation background can feel supported and nurtured through the application process. Inherently we want every participant to feel part of a wider community of medical students, Junior Doctor's and Consultants who are all on their side, enabling them to excel not just in their application but giving them the tools and confidence to be empowered and successful. Medics&Me provides an in-depth insight into the world of medical school, being a Doctor and the application process; we endeavour to provide the access that many students get through their parents or schools to those who would otherwise receive little or no support. By providing PBL-like facilitated discussion sessions for Schools that would otherwise struggle to offer this level of support, we enable students to develop their own ideas, reflections and understanding about medicine and what the career entails. We have organised weekly 'Meet the Dr' drop in Q&A sessions, allowing the chance for students to not only hear more about different specialities, career paths, and routes into medicine but also ask questions in an open and informal environment. Alongside the group sessions, webinars, and Q&A drop ins, we have provided those interested in applying to medicine with a personal mentor, pairing them with a medical student who provides them with the peer-to-peer support to help nurture and encourage them to achieve their aspirations. Medics&Me aims to provide a friendly, accessible, and non-judgemental companion and community for the stressful process of applying to medicine, while embracing diversity and equality.
