Students applying for medicine recently received a training session from Dr. Magdalena Lech, who came in to deliver a clinical skills session on cranial nerve examination.
The session proved informative and valuable in helping potential candidates hone their skills in how to examine patients as well as crucial anatomy and physiology of the cranial nerves.
Yaso Shan, who runs Varndean College’s enrichment session for medical school applicants, said, “It was wonderful to have one of our ex-students, who has recently completed her training at Southampton and who did her clinical placements in the US, come in to deliver a bespoke session for our Aspire students hoping to pursue a career in Medicine. It is a good opportunity for our students to relate to recent graduates as well as someone who attended this college as they can see a realistic possibility for themselves.”
Magda also provided lots of general tips and advice to our students. Medical students are one strand of the Med/Vet/Dent enrichment which is coordinated by Emma-Jayne Hanner and falls within the Aspire Programme at Varndean College.
