I have received the following e-mail this morning. If you are in Year Twelve and are interested in attending, please sign up directly via the link but e-mail me so that I can contact the organisers if more than five of you are able to go, as that is the limit per school.
I am getting in touch about an upcoming event on Saturday 25th February from 9.30am until 1.30pm which would be of high interest to students applying to study medicine at university.
This insight day will be aimed at Year 12 students (Lower sixth students) who will be entering the application process in the coming October but may also be of interest to some Year 11 students too.
The day will look at how to direct reading and interest development by linking current medical research to GCSE, A Level and IB specifications in the sciences. This will guide students on how to build their individual story of interest and passion for their subject in preparation for the application and selection processes for entry to medicine. Students will be given examples of how to build their areas of academic interest and knowledge and how to incorporate these areas into their personal statements.
The talks will be focusing on recent research developments in ovarian cryopreservation - a technique used to preserve fertility in young people, particularly those undergoing cancer treatments which can cause infertility as a long term side effect. These talks will be delivered by doctors (from junior level to consultant level) along with current medical students of all year groups. Mid way through the morning there will be a poster walk detailing recent research ongoing in Oxford specifically chosen to link to the specifications of school science subjects. The timetable for the day is attached.
The event will be free. However, students will need to cover their own travel costs. The talks of the insight morning will also be broadcast via web-ex link so students who live a significant distance from Oxford or overseas students can access live online.
