Alternatives to MBBS medicine: Helping students who ‘want to help people’
Friday 5 June 2020
09:55
Open to all
Summary
This session explores how to have constructive conversations with ambitious and empathetic Generation Z students who are often looking at traditional medical courses by default. Ensuring these students (and frequently their parents!) are well informed of the full range of degree options open to them is a key part of the counselling process, especially given limits on the number of international medical training places available in the UK, and the competitiveness of the application. This session will empower you, as an adviser, to talk about exciting and ethical alternatives tailored to each student’s aspirations, skill set, and grades.
The panel will present on a range of allied health professions, as well as STEM subjects with direct applicability to medicine in the 21st century.
