Our students are changing the world… for the better
Over the past 7 years we have developed a global aspiring medics community. We empower our students to initiate and conduct their projects from start to completion. Projects can range from scientific research, public health initiatives, charity or volunteering. Every year we provide a set number of existing projects for students to get involved. Previous students have conducted projects with NHS England, Harvard Medical School, international charities and local public health awareness campaigns.
Yi-Han, Thailand
By joining the Medefine community, Yi-Han has had the opportunity to join a wide range of seminars, volunteering activities, and projects to support her local community and boost her personal statement and application. Yi-Han has put together a book entitled “Oh! It’s cancer” aiming to help children aged 8-14 who have been diagnosed with the disease to understand cancer better. This is an award winning project which has made her application stand out from the crowd.
