We have so far supported 40 students locally and are in the process of arranging further programmes. Here is some of their feedback:
“An amazing opportunity that will really help me in the future when applying to Uni”
“It was a real privilege to be able to sit in on the consultations with the patients I saw. I also found it really useful to observe doctors at various stages in their careers. The experiences will be incredibly useful for interviews and have definitely increased my interest in psychiatry”
“…makes me much more confident about applying to medical school.”
“My “stereotypical” view of psychiatry changed”
