Your welcome pack will provide suggestions for each category, which includes Medic Mentor Approved Activities.  However, you do not need to stick to this list and if you would like to use other activities (including non-Medic Mentor activities) that is acceptable.  You can discuss ideas for each category with your Mentor, who can provide you with advice throughout your Awards Programme.  They will also be able to give you advice on how to apply for volunteering and work experience opportunities.

Details of Medic Mentor Approved Activites can be accessed below.  Approved Activites are programmes that meet Medic Mentor’s quality standards to support the learning of students that are being mentored and supervised.  Approved programmes are a guarantee of quality, whereas other programmes may not necessarily meet Medic Mentor standards.

Activties may or may not be associated with an additional cost and the choice of programmes to undertake lies with the student.
