Aspiring Medical Student Fundraising Challenge

Want to study medicine and make your application stand out?

If you’re applying to study medicine, you’ll likely know that medical schools are looking for work experience in a caring or medical environment. In addition, have you also considered fundraising for a medical charity? It’s a useful addition to your supporting statement and will give you something extra to talk about in your interview. It’s also your chance to make a difference, helping to change the lives of doctors and medical students in need.

Loads of aspiring medical students like you have done fundraisers for The RMBF, from cake bakes and school balls to running 10Ks and hosting quiz nights. They have all raised vital funds to support doctors and medical students in difficulty.
