MEDIC MENTOR IS COMMITTED TO
WIDENING ACCESS TO MEDICAL SCHOOL
Widening access to medical school involves making the opportunity to pursue a
career in medicine more accessible to students from diverse backgrounds,
including those from underrepresented communities, lower socio-economic
backgrounds, and non-traditional pathways.
Medic Mentor is a UK-based non-profit organisation that aims to increase the
diversity and inclusivity of the medical profession by providing support and
guidance to students from underrepresented backgrounds who are interested in
pursuing a career in medicine.

How Does Medic Mentor Promote Widening Access To Medicine?
At Medic Mentor, we have a unique stance on widening access compared with other
organisations that might limit their widening access resources to a particular
group of students. We believe that widening access to medicine (WAMS or also
referred to as widening participation) should mean that all students from all
backgrounds have access to the same high-quality resources to help them decide
on and apply for careers. This is why we provide free places on most of our
programmes to everyone, regardless of your family-income or background.
We also appreciate that every student is different and some need more help than
others. This is not just based on widening access criteria, but also the
individual. For this reason we provide students with the option of accessing
‘extra mentoring’, so that they can determine for themselves if they need
additional support. Whilst extra mentoring is more labour intensive and incurs a
cost, we have ensured that there are free widening access places on these
programmes too. Therefore, for the small number of ‘paid-for’ programmes that
we do run, we promote equality by offering free places to those who cannot
afford it, whilst also giving students who can afford them, the options of doing
so in order to access additional help, if they need it. This is very different
to other organisations who focus only on a particular group of students with
their widening access criteria, because they are limited by funding and
therefore have to prioritise who to offer these free resources to. Even if
funding everyone is the limiting factor, they will refuse to assist students who
are willing to pay for themselves. We feel that excluding any group from having
access to helpful resources is not the way forward. That is why, we have
decided as an organisation to take a more inclusive stance on widening access.
We take this approach because appreciate that there are many reasons that
students might be at a disadvantage. Students can be affected by their location
in the UK, which school they go to or if they are the first in their families to
attend university. While Medic Mentor cannot help with these factors, we can at
least do our best to standardise careers guidance by offering it to all students
as equally as possible. As a social enterprise, we do not receive large amounts
of government funding, but our model ensures that all of the money that is
raised is reinvested back into supporting widening access and wellbeing
programmes that benefit everyone. Therefore, because we are more inclusive, it
has enabled us to run the largest widening access programmes in the whole
country, for students applying to medicine. We reach around 50,000 secondary
school students each year.
Free Virtual Work Experience Programme (WEX)
Accessing work experience has long been a stressful process for medical
applicants. In-person placements are limited and difficult to acquire because
they often have a number of restrictions such as age and distance which makes
the inaccessible. This was worsened by the pandemic because hospitals and GP
practices did not accept work experience students. During this time, Medic
Mentor partnered with University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust to
create a virtual work experience programme for our aspiring medics using their
state of the art SIM suite. Students spent 6 months attending LIVE Virtual
sessions where they saw a variety of different areas in medicine and followed
patients on their healthcare journeys.
Since then Health Education England completed a discovery report on virtual work
placements to evaluate their effectiveness. Medic Mentor was invited to
participate in this discovery report, which ultimately concluded that virtual
work experience can be as valuable as in-person experience. The Medical Schools
Council adopted this stance too, stating that they would accept virtual
placements. The excerpt below from the Medical Schools Councils’ Guidance on
Work Experience Document states:
Will online experience count for my application form for UCAS?
Yes, you can use any type of experience that you have gained in your personal
statement, no matter what the setting for this experience was. You can talk
about the experiences you have had and the things you have learnt, about
medicine as a profession and about yourself in your personal statement.
Our free virtual work experience programme is available to all students.
Free Get into Medicine UCAS Conferences
Medic Mentor run free conferences almost every weekend across the entire year
for students and their parents. These conferences help families to learn more
about what an application to medical school will entail which is an important
aspect of making an informed-decision about becoming a doctor. We have had
feedback from many WAMS students that have only heard talks from speakers about
what doctors do and that although these talks and experiences are inspiring, it
raises their hopes without actually explaining how to get there. Some students
have felt that by doing this, they have been ‘set up to fail’. At Medic Mentor,
we are determined to help students from start to finish. Our programmes are not
just about giving students access to doctors, but also providing them with the
guidance on how to tackle every aspect of their application to medical school.
The Get into Medicine Conferences is a crucial introduction to what applying to
medical school will involve, how much effort and preparation is required and an
opportunity to learn from successful who students and doctors about the honest
approaches that they used. These conferences are virtual, so it reduces the
barriers for arranging travel to get to a venue. We have 3 specific streams to
ensure that the content is relevant to the audience.
Get into Medicine UCAS Conference: Ideal for students who have not applied to
medical school yet. This is great for students in 10-13, S3-S6 or Northern Irish
year 11-14 year groups.
Get into Medicine International Conference: This is for students who are classed
as ‘international applicants’ and who have not yet applied to medical school.
This includes students are not from the UK, or students in the UK who have not
been residing here for 3 year prior to starting uni or who do not have permanent
residency/ indefinite leave to remain/ a British passport holder.
Get into Medicine Re-application Conference: This is for students who have been
unsuccessful in their first attempt at applying to medical school. At this
conference we explore all of the additional options available to secure a
medical school place so that students can still pursue their dreams of becoming
doctors. It is ideal for students in 13, S6 or Northern Irish 14 year groups,
or older.
Get into Medicine UCAS Conferences are open to all students and parents from any
background.
Free Insight Into Medicine Conferences
The Insight into Medicine Conferences are free virtual conferences that take
place twice a month on weekends. This gives students access to speak to 3-6
doctors at every conference and we encourage students to attend multiple events
so that they get to hear from different doctors and their experiences. Having
the opportunity to speak to doctors is not only a compulsory requirement of
applying to medical school but also the best way to make an informed career
decision and develop insight into medicine, which is a scored component of the
UCAS application process. These conferences are available to everyone.
Free Chief Mentor Evening Drop-Clinics
Our Chief Mentors are doctors with additional experience on the admissions and
supporting students with their successful medical school applications. They are
academic doctors with excellent mentoring, leadership, teaching and research
experience, making them fantastic role models for aspiring students.
The evening drop-in clinics happen three times a week (Monday, Wednesday and
Friday) and they last 1 hour from 8pm GMT. This is an opportunity for students
and parents from any background to attend and ask questions about applications.
Free Virtual Medical Society (VMS)
The Virtual Medical Society (VMS) is a peer-mentoring programme that is led by a
student committee and supported by mentors. The VMS gives students an
opportunity to take charge of their own learning and development as well as
access incredible CV opportunities. The VMS offers students the option of
boosting their CVs with competitions, debates, volunteering, research and
presenting opportunities. They also form a close-knit supportive community that
fosters a culture of positivity and collaboration. The VMS is very important in
empowering students to succeed together and escape much of the toxic
competitiveness that typically exists among medical applicants. They are
excellent role models and mentors that support each other through the medical
school application process.
Meeting take place online on Zoom webinars every Tuesday evening at 5.45pm GMT.
All students are invited!
Free Medical Leadership Programme (MLP)
Medic Mentor’s Medical Leadership Programme is the UK’s only medical leadership
programme for secondary school students. Students are awarded a place on this
programme by applying competitively through an online application. We have
funding for 3 students from each school: 1 in year 11/S3/NI 12, 1 from year
12/S5/NI 13 and 1 from year 13/S6/NI 14. These students have access to 3
interactive workshops (1 each term) that take place in small groups online with
their own dedicated mentors. The sessions focus on developing the skills,
qualities and attributes of a future doctor as laid out by the GMC’s outcomes
for medical graduates.
Medic Mentor’s Medical Leadership Programme helps aspiring medical students
develop a wide range of skills, qualities, and attributes that are essential for
success in the medical profession. Some of the key skills, qualities, and
attributes that students develop include:
1. Leadership skills: The Medical Leadership programme helps students develop
strong leadership skills, such as effective communication, decision-making,
and problem-solving skills. These skills are essential for success in a
medical career, where leaders are often required to work as part of a team,
make difficult decisions, and take responsibility through interactive
sessions.
2. Personal qualities: The Medical Leadership Programme help students develop
personal qualities such as empathy, resilience, and compassion. These
qualities are essential for building strong relationships with patients,
managing the emotional demands of a medical career, and maintaining a strong
commitment to patient care.
3. Professional development: The Medical Leadership Programs also helps
students develop a range of professional skills, such as effective
communication with colleagues and patients, time management, and project
management skills. These skills are essential for success in a medical
career and can help students to become effective leaders and managers.
4. Research skills: The Medical Leadership Programme provides students with
opportunities to develop research skills, such as data analysis, critical
thinking, and scientific writing. These skills are essential for success in
a medical career, where evidence-based practice and research are
increasingly important.
The MLP is fantastic for aspiring medical students because it prepares them for
success in the medical profession, both as clinicians and as leaders. Any
student can competitively apply for the positions.
Free Equality & Diversity Training
Medic Mentor is committed to promoting equality and diversity among staff
mentors and students. Watch the introductory video and then start your
e-learning! You will awarded a certificate on completion to add to your
application and CV. You can access the E-learning through your free Medic
Mentor Student Portal.
Firstly, we ensure that our team of mentors reflects the diversity of our
student population. We actively recruit mentors from a range of backgrounds and
experiences, and we value the unique perspectives and insights that they bring
to our programmes. We also provide ongoing training and support to our mentors
to ensure that they are equipped to work effectively with students from diverse
backgrounds.
Secondly, we strive to create a safe and inclusive environment for all students.
We do not tolerate discrimination or harassment of any kind, and we have
policies and procedures in place to address any such incidents that may occur.
We also provide support and resources to students who may be facing challenges
related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Thirdly, we work to promote diversity and inclusivity in our programmes and
events. For example, we ensure that our speakers and workshop leaders come from
a range of backgrounds and experiences, and we actively seek out perspectives
and insights that may not be represented in traditional medical education. We
also incorporate topics related to diversity and inclusion into our programmes
to raise awareness and promote understanding among our students.
We believe that creating an inclusive environment is essential to achieving our
mission of supporting and inspiring the next generation of medical professionals
Free Summer School Places
The Summer School offers additional mentoring for students who feel that they
might need extra help with their applications. It is a comprehensive mentoring
programme that supports students, families and their teachers at every single
stage of the application process. Students receive personal mentoring on an
unlimited basis for each component of the application. The Summer School
includes an optional residential component that lasts 4-5 days but this can also
be delivered virtually. It is a year-long mentoring programme that includes
support for personal statements, UCAT, BMAT, interviews, supplementary
questionnaires (where needed), strategically deciding which medical schools to
apply to, teachers references, access to scholarships to study medicine at
university.
This is a resource intensive programme with significant overheads and logistical
co-ordination that involves 1000s of doctors and medical students. Therefore,
there is a cost associated for this programme for students to attend. If there
are students from low-income backgrounds who would like to attend but cannot
afford to do so, they are welcome to apply for our funded summer school places
that become available in January each year.
Reinvesting In The UK's Future Doctors
As a non-profit social enterprise, Medic Mentor reinvest all of the proceeds
raised from our programmes back into support our students applying for medicine.
We do this primarily in 3 ways:
1. We run the UK’s largest medical students scholarship programme. These are
academic awards worth up to £12,000 across an individual’s 6 year medical
degree. In addition to the financial help provided through these awards,
our medical students receive additional wellbeing and mentoring support
throughout medical school, so that they can make the most of the experience
and ensure that they are well prepared for working as a doctor. These are
merit-based awards made to applying students at the end of their school
years (during the summer when they receive their final results). Students
are selected on how pro-active they have been as Medic Mentor students.
2. We run the largest widening access programmes for aspiring medical students
in the country. We teach 50,000 students between 10-13/S3-S6/NI 11-14 year
groups. Our criteria to include students in most of our programmes is to
expand our reach to everyone. Therefore we do not differentiate between
student backgrounds, schools that they attend, or whether they are UK
residents. We aim to be as inclusive as possible.
3. We invest heavily in our widening access students to enrol onto Medic Mentor
programmes for extra mentoring that involves an extra cost. Where there are
costs associated with additional mentoring, we ensure that a number of
places are reserved for students from low-income backgrounds. This
diversifies our future doctor cohort to promote the recruitment of doctors
that are reflective of our diverse patient population.

WHY IS
WIDENING ACCESS TO MEDICINE IMPORTANT?
Widening access to medical school is important because it can help to address
the underrepresentation of certain groups in the medical profession, as well as
ensure that the medical workforce is more representative of the communities it
serves. This, in turn, can help to improve health outcomes for diverse
populations and reduce health disparities.
The effectiveness of widening access to medicine programmes can be difficult to
measure definitively, as it often takes several years to see significant changes
in the demographics of medical school applicants and students. However, there is
evidence to suggest that current widening access to medicine programmes are
having a positive impact.
For example, in the United Kingdom, the number of students from lower
socio-economic backgrounds and underrepresented groups, such as Black, Asian,
and minority ethnic (BAME) students, entering medical school has increased in
recent years. According to data from the Medical Schools Council, the percentage
of UK medical students from lower socio-economic backgrounds increased from 7.6%
in 2014 to 10.2% in 2019, and the percentage of BAME students increased from
22.9% in 2014 to 28.8% in 2019.
However, while these programs are making progress, there is still more work to
be done to ensure that medical schools are truly representative of the
communities they serve. Ongoing efforts to increase diversity and inclusion in
medical education are necessary to address the persistent inequalities that
exist in the healthcare system.
Medic Mentor helps to widen access to medicine by providing support and
resources to students from diverse backgrounds who may face barriers to entering
the medical profession. By offering outreach programs, admissions support,
scholarships and bursaries, and mentorship opportunities, Medic Mentor is
helping to create a more diverse and inclusive medical workforce that better
reflects the needs and experiences of the communities it serves.
