Medefine Education is an organisation helping international students gain the skills and experience required for an impactful career in healthcare, under the mentorship of UK doctors, researchers on their way to the most eminent Universities, and beyond. We are a group of UK doctors and medical students from all over the UK with a passion for medical education aiming to inspire the next generation of medical students. Our aim is to widen access to UK Medical Schools by providing high quality evidence based information and medical school application coaching for international students*. They have been in the same situation as you in the past and are now willing to pass on their best tips to help you succeed!
*Although our project is mainly aimed at international students coming from less favourable backgrounds, we have also decided to support local schools who do not receive as much information about the medical school application as they should. Our passion was born from the frustration that high quality international medical school applicants are unsuccessful due to lack of relevant information. Some applicants have never visited the UK and only come here for an interview not knowing what to expect. How much should I know about the UK laws? How about the current affairs of the National Health System? These are some of the most common questions we have encountered along the years from previous international applicants. Unfortunately each medical school has a limit of 10% of the whole cohort allocated for international students. Due to the fierce competition for admission, it has never been more important to get a competitive advantage. Think about it, who else can help you achieve this if not other international medical students who have been in the same position as you, or even more, who may come from the same country as you? What do we want from you? All we want from you is enthusiasm and commitment. The harsh truth is that the medical school application process is full of hurdles and can be overwhelming at times. Together we can easily overcome these hurdles and we can make sure you achieve the best result with your application that you can. What’s in it for us? We are a non-profit organisation and all profits rose through charity events or external donations are being used to create further resources and to host events. Our ultimate goal is developing an online tutoring platform to connect medical students and international applicants from all over the world!
