We are excited to announce the launch of the Yorkshire Medical Schools Summer School: An MSC Pathway Programme. The programme is a collaboration between Leeds Medical School, Hull York Medical School, Sheffield Medical School, The Royal College of Surgeons, and the Medical Schools Council, funded by Health Education England.
Running from April – October 2023, the summer school will consist of monthly online activities to prepare students for applying to Medical School. Students will also take part in a week-long online summer school, including a visit to the University of Leeds Medical School for a Surgical Careers Taster Day.
The programme is open to Year 12 students interested in studying Medicine who are from under-represented backgrounds, and targets areas of England that have limited outreach engagement with medical schools.
Monthly sessions will be delivered online via Zoom. University staff and students from the three Yorkshire Medical Schools and guest speakers will deliver content, with opportunities for you to interact and participate. You will also have the opportunity to visit the University of Leeds to take part in a Cutting Edge Careers Day, run by the Royal College of Surgeons.
Online sessions will take place on a weekday evening, so that they do not interfere with your current studies.
The summer school will take place from Monday 10th July – Thursday 13th July 2023:
You should speak to your teachers / tutor before signing up to ensure you are available during the Summer School week to attend all of the sessions, and that you can catch up on any learning you have missed during this time.
There are a limited number of places available on the Summer School programme so we respectfully ask that you are prepared to fully commit to participation before signing up.
The summer school programme is open to current Year 12 / first year college students who have a genuine interest in applying to study Medicine at university. We are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity to students from all backgrounds, recognising that some groups are underrepresented on university courses and in certain health careers.
