Ashbourne Medical School students practise ‘real-life’ medical dramas this November in preparation for university interviews.
Ashbourne’s Medical School Programme (AMSP) and Performing Arts department set the stage for students to role play a range of medical scenarios they may encounter as doctors. Sam, who takes part in the AMSP, received plaudits for his sensitive handling of an elderly patient, wonderfully performed by drama teacher Jo-Lee, with other notable performances from Kian and Tomi.
Getting into Medical school is not only about excellent academic achievement, although that is a requirement. Students need to be fully equipped to start a career in medicine, be up to speed with current issues and feel confident during interviews.
Amy Young, Faculty Head for Natural Science, leads Ashbourne’s Medical School Programme and has been successfully enabling students to apply for medical school for many years. She is a Medical School interviewer for UCL and is also Head of Sixth Form at Ashbourne.
