Dear Parent/Carer
I am writing to make you aware of Medic Insight Edinburgh and the completely free-of-charge programme we offer for students in years S4 and S5, or equivalent. We are a group of medical students at the University of Edinburgh and we want to give as many school students the opportunity to gain medical work experience as possible. We run a programme which aims to provide these students with an initial insight into medicine and help students, through our events, decide whether or not medicine is a programme of study they may wish to embark upon.
We run 2 events each year, one for S4 students and one for S5 students. We are waiting on some information becoming available from NHS Lothian before we can confirm details of our S5 event but I am delighted to be able to share details of our S4 event for this year.
Virtual S4 Day Event
Medic Insight Day 2021 – Saturday 27th March 2021 via virtual platform
Applications for this will open on the 24th February 2021 at 1pm.
The event will consist of talks from medical students and doctors followed by an afternoon of workshops all designed to provide an initial insight into what a career in medicine could look like.
Updates regarding applications will be posted on our website and Facebook page – this is also where the links for applying will become available on the advertised dates.
