Medicine, Veterinary and Dental E-learning Work Experience Sessions

Every Month Medic Mentor, Vet Mentor and Dental Mentor will release a free E-Learning Work Experience session for students. This means you can access this fantastic resource any time throughout March until their next session is released on 1st April.

Throughout March:
Medics will have access to the Obstetrics and Gynaecology session.
Dentists will have access to the Paediatric and Surgical Dentistry session.
Vets will have access to the Equine Veterinary Medicine session.

Students often struggle when it comes to getting work experience in medicine, dentistry and veterinary medicine. This is why we have created our FREE Virtual Work Experience Programme. This will help students make that informed decision about their chosen career.

Medics
Throughout March, applying students in Northern Irish 11-14 year groups will have access to Medic Mentor’s Free Obstetrics and Gynaecology Virtual Work Experience (MEDWEX) session. This is one session out of 6 separate sessions covering different areas within medicine.

What will students be looking at during the session?
In this month’s session, they will experience a woman’s pregnancy journey, and meet the multidisciplinary team made up of midwives, nurses, and obstetric doctors, who support her every step of the way to becoming a Mum! Held in the state-of-the-art immersion suite at the University Hospitals of Birmingham, they will gain first-hand experience of a midwife booking appointment at the general practice, an outpatient clinic and admission to the delivery suite where one patient goes in and two come out! They will find out about the investigations performed to screen women during the pregnancy to identify pregnancy-related health problems, such as gestational diabetes, and understand how these can be managed to prevent harm to Mum and baby. They will also learn the importance of critical thinking, teamwork, leadership, communication and compassion. Join Medic Mentor for their simulated clinical work experience for the closest example of obstetrics, but from the comfort of your own home. Completely free and specially designed to support students of today to become doctors of tomorrow.
