Develop your research, communication and clinical skills
During this three-week summer school, you will attend lectures, interactive workshops and take part in a range of learning activities following the weekly theme.
You will be taught by experienced medical educators and clinicians, in various environments including our purpose-built consultation skills suite.
The school will encourage reflection on some of the key aspects of medical practice, providing you with skills that you can embed into your own practice throughout your future career.
You will also have the opportunity to improve your English writing skills and practice presenting in an academic setting.
The summer school is an ideal setting for medical students to consider some of the varied roles you can undertake as future doctors, and the direction you may wish to take in your own career.
