However, something I have become passionate about is diversity and equality whilst being at Plymouth. I have joined their Athena Swan group which works to recognise and celebrate good practice in higher education and medicine towards gender equality.
I feel very passionate about making a positive change for the future and Plymouth medical school is really good at encouraging students to get involved and make these changes with constant support.
They are definitely student-focused and make every effort to commit to their students’ progress by making them part of the team. Due to the benefit of being a smaller medical school, I have been lucky enough to get to know my peers and make great friendships along the way, who I know will be life-long ones.
I have also been grateful for getting involved with the promotion of getting to work alongside great clinicians and teachers to develop our curriculum and communicate a student perspective on the way we learn and how to improve this for future years.
I would recommend Plymouth Medical school to anyone who wants to become a great doctor to come to where they make every effort to encourage wider, integrated learning.
