PotMed Pathway Webinar Series

Our monthly Webinar Series is designed to support Year 12 students from underrepresented or under-resourced backgrounds in applying to medicine.

It is a 6-month programme that guides students step-by-step through the application process, covering work experience, personal statements, admissions tests and more — culminating with our highly anticipated Annual UCAT Intensive!

Over the course of the programme, you will:

• Gain first-hand insight into life as a medical student through talks and live Q&A sessions with current medical students, covering placements, workload, exams, and the realities of studying medicine
• Take part in interactive, discussion-based webinars, including myth-busting sessions and breakout room activities that encourage reflection on motivations for medicine and the application journey
• Receive step-by-step guidance on the medical school application process, helping students understand what to do at each stage and how to apply strategically
• Explore alternative career pathways within and beyond medicine, including MedTech, varied training pathways, and opportunities in research; students will also learn about intercalated degrees (iBScs), gap years, and reapplication routes
• Learn how to find and reflect meaningfully on work experience, linking experiences to the skills and values assessed in medicine
• Participate in an interactive personal statement masterclass, with opportunities to draft, discuss, and refine sections of their personal statement in small-group settings
• Prepare for medical admissions tests through our highly anticipated Annual UCAT Intensive, featuring focused teaching, exam strategies, and advice from successful applicants

This programme is especially suited to Year 11 and Year 12 students preparing for future applications. However, Year 13 students, gap-year applicants, and graduate entrants are also very welcome to attend.
