Pathways to medicine

This programme supports highly motivated young people from state-funded schools and colleges who demonstrate a keen interest in pursuing a career in medicine. The programme recruits Year 12 students at the beginning of their A-level (or equivalent) courses and provides ongoing support into Year 13.

If you are a successful applicant, you will take part in activities that provide insight into the medical profession, support your medical school application and prepare you for starting university.

The programme is delivered by Imperial College London in partnership with the Sutton Trust and with support from Health Education England. It is coordinated by the Outreach Team with support from the School of Medicine, led by Professor Kevin Murphy (Admissions Tutor). The programme is also supported by Vision – a student-run medical society that aims to widen participation in medicine. Medical students from the society provide ongoing mentoring support, as well as organising events to show what it is like to study medicine at university.
