Work Experience
Two common issues students report is difficulty finding work experience and not knowing what to do with it.
This is actually a vital component of your Personal Statement and interview. These packages are unlike traditional work experience placements where clinicians have little time to teach and may not be familiar with current entry requirements for medical school.
We have two parts to the work experience package - Hospital and General Practice. Experiencing NHS primary and secondary care on this unique virtual platform ensures that everything you need for work experience is covered.
These packages are ideal for International Students who have had little to no exposure of the inner workings of the NHS and will allow them to familiarise themselves with healthcare in the U.K.
Certificates of attendance are provided.

“The clinical environment is changing rapidly and with the increase of online clinics and appointments being conducted remotely, gaining online experience can be as useful as in person experience. Providing the online work experience gives you a useful insight into what a future career as a healthcare professional can involve, it can be just as useful as in person work experience.”
