Getting into medicine
Widening participation to medicine - an Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust initiative
A diverse group of doctors and healthcare professionals improves patient care and strengthens our teams.
We are committed to collaborating with students, families, schools and universities to build a healthcare workforce that reflects the diversity of the communities it serves.
Recognising that not all students have equal access to resources necessary for medical school admission, we have developed a 'Getting into Medicine' Programme which is open to everyone, and provides additional support those who need it.
