Young Medics

Congratulations to Ella, Abi, Michael, Joel and Joy who have been accepted onto the University of Liverpool Medics programme.

The Merseyside Young Medics (MYM) is a rolling five-year programme of medicine and health-related activities and support for young people in Years 9-13 and have the potential and interest in studying medicine or health-related subjects at university.

Local schools nominate Year 9 pupils to participate in phase one of MYM which will run until the end of Year 11. Progression on to the Year 12/13 programme will be based on pupils’ GCSE attainment and continued interest in medicine/health-related study.

The programme aims to:

• Increase pupil confidence, motivation and aspirations
• Develop pupil understanding of the subject qualification choices needed for medicine/health-related study and careers
• Provide curriculum enrichment to stretch skills, abilities and understanding
• Support pupils to make informed choices and decisions.

Pupils will participate in activities at the University as part of a curriculum designed to build knowledge and experience incrementally.

A fantastic opportunity for our students good, well done and good luck.
