What is the Medical Leadership Programme?

The Medical Leadership Programme is open to secondary school students in year 10/S3 to 13/S6. It is the only national medical leadership programme for aspiring doctors, dentists and vets.  The programme provides students with 3 additional teaching days (1 Saturday/Sunday per term) to help students develop confidence, important transferable skills and knowledge that will best prepare them for their future careers.  It also gives students extra opportunities to work with a variety of doctors, vets and dentists throughout the year.  This ensures that we can provide you with ongoing mentoring, to build the confidence and professionalism that you need, in time for your interviews in Year 13 and S6.  

The earlier that students participate, the more time that they have to develop their skills and confidence.  For this reason we welcome students in younger years (year 10-11 or S3-S4) to apply.

All successful students will receive certificates and references from the Presidents at Medic Mentor.
