Medic Mentor – Medical and Dental Work Experience

Gaining valuable work experience is a must-have for medical and dental applications, and we understand the challenges  students may face while finding the right placement. Luckily, medical and dental schools have accepted Virtual Work Experience as a valuable alternative to in-person shadowing, and can play a significant role in preparing students for their in-person work placements through structured teaching and opportunities to speak directly with healthcare professionals.

Our Virtual Work Experience Programme is brought to you by Birmingham Universities Hospitals Trust in collaboration with Medic & Dental Mentor. It is free to participate in, and is open to any student across the UK from 14 years old and above who has attended one of our FREE virtual Get Into Conferences!

The Get into Medicine or Get Into Dentistry Conference is a complete guide to the medical or dental application journey.
