Sixth formers interested in STEM wereÌýselected from disadvantaged backgrounds. They wereÌýmatched with appropriate local professionals in theirÌýchosen field. The Division of Medicine hosted twoÌýgroups this year. Each groupÌývisited the division of medicine for fiveÌýdays.
Dr Nina De Gruijter supported sevenÌýstudents who hope to study medicine and pharmacy. During their visit they were able to work on a lab project which involved them being taken through a case study ofÌýan arthritic knee, which they wrote a short report about, to learn about differential diagnostic skills as medics.
