Free schools' lectures
The College runs annual School Lectures for young people interested in a career in medicine, these lectures are free to attend.
“Becoming a Doctor was particularly good as it gave a great insight into personal statements, interviews and the ups and downs of this very special career choice. It was well targeted and every pupil benefitted. It gave much food for thought. We usually bring a mini bus full - 17 - but I could bring more if I could. The Lectures are that popular.”
Dr Sharon Lewis, Head of Biology & Science at Fettes College, Edinburgh
