Medic Mentoring Scheme

Taking place between August and January, the Medic Mentoring Scheme is open to Yr12s attending state-maintained schools in our Link Areas (Sheffield, Essex, Thurrock, and Southend-on-Sea) who are applying for medical courses at UK universities including Oxford and Cambridge.

Participants will have an account set up for them on our e-platform and will be paired with a current clinical medic at Emmanuel. Through more formal interactions via our webinar series and more informal interactions with a mentor via the e-platform, the scheme aims to help guide participants through the application process and prepare them to make competitive applications.

Webinars will cover:

• Introduction to the Scheme and Approaching the UCAT
• Writing a Personal Statement for Medicine (led by an Admissions Tutor)
• Approaching Cambridge Medicine Interviews (led by an Admissions Tutor)

Participants will also receive:

• Written feedback from their mentor on a personal statement draft
• A mock interview

The entire programme is free of charge.
