Outreach
An Outreach Program developed by Melanin Medics to increase participants’ awareness of careers in medicine and the demands of the undergraduate medical degree. This outreach scheme aims instil confidence in students encouraging them to pursue careers in Medicine whilst challenging stereotypes. Our Outreach Program provides in-depth and personal learning opportunities for students, teachers and classrooms across the country as we believe that all students should have access to the resources required to pursue careers in Medicine irrespective of their socio-economic background and race.
