"Working with WPMN has helped me in so many ways. Being able to play an active role in helping others with a widening participation background has been incredibly rewarding and fulfilling as it is the help I wish I had when applying to medical school. It is also amazing how we can help those once at medical school with advice and support. Working with WPMN has given me networking opportunities and a chance to explore my passion for blog writing and helping with widening access to medical school. It has also improved my confidence in not just my ability to help others but also my self-confidence as a widening participation medical student. Being part of a community where you can see those from your background achieving your dreams has given me the fuel to keep going and be proud of my accomplishments."
Emergency Medicine Mentoring Scheme
We are looking for up to 4 people to work on the Emergency Medicine Mentoring Scheme. The scheme will be targeted at medical students and junior doctors interested in emergency medicine. You will be involved in putting forward a proposal to work with the Royal College of Emergency Medicine. You don't need to be an EM trainee, this project is open to everyone from medical students to qualified doctors - just with an interest in EM!
