Information for pupils hoping to study Medicine:

Applications are now open for Medic Insight Glasgow’s upcoming Day Programme. This event is for S4 pupils considering medicine as it aims to provide a useful understanding of what studying medicine and being a doctor is like.

It will be held online (via Zoom) on Saturday 8th April from 9am-5pm or in person at the Wolfson Medical School Building (University Avenue, G12 8QQ) on Tuesday 11th April from 9am-5pm. If the application is successful the student will be allocated either day to attend the event. We will try to allocate preferred dates where possible, but if the in person programme is oversubscribed the places will be allocated competitively on the merits of each application.

The application form link for students to sign up is below. Applications are now open and they close at 5pm on the 24th of February.
