motivating medics
London
Motivating Medics is a not-for-profit organisation, targeting young people of
lower socioeconomic backgrounds - with great emphasis in and around London, UK.
Many of our youth aspire to study medicine but face drawbacks in their social
and educational environments. Marginalisation, feeling under-inspired and a lack
of good role models are just a few of the causative factors. The aim is to
motivate, inspire and educate – helping them realise that with hard work, a
career in medicine/surgery is not out of reach. Ultimately, pushing these pupils
in the right direction in order to increase their confidence, maximise their
performance, and help them reach their study goals. Through workshops, mentoring
and school talks, the objective is to bridge the gap, and help widen access into
medical school.
