The Ultimate Work Experience in Medicine in London
Overview
We are now almost fully booked for this Summer Experience and expect to close registration in the next few days.
Join us for the ultimate work experience for aspiring doctors in London this summer, for students aged 15-18.
Over the course of 2 weeks, students will get to step into the shoes of a doctor working in London, through a range of immersive career simulations and exclusive professional site visits. They’ll perform key medical tasks in a London hospital, attend patient consultations, practise taking blood, and learn to stitch up wounds.
Those enrolled on this unique InvestIN programme will build professional networks with like-minded people – a great way to support their development in the field. They'll also get to experience life at the renowned University College London (UCL). Take advantage of this special opportunity for students to get a taste of their dream career, and be sure to include it on future university applications.
