Medicine - Not Just Medics
The subject of Medicine interests many students, but there are lots of career paths other than becoming a doctor. Scientists, engineers, and mathematicians work alongside medical doctors and other clinicians, helping them to understand the spread of disease, discover new cures, and develop new technologies for diagnosis and treatment.
Programme details
For students in Year 9, 10 and 11, this event provides information about how STEM degrees can link to the field of Medicine, and why STEM is important for medical advancement.
The event is free of charge and students will need to bring a packed lunch. The next Medicine - Not Just Medics event will take place in November 2026.
