A chance to participate in a summer research programme alongside a senior researcher is also given to students – this providesan opportunity to develop research skills and to get a taste of what a career in medical/clinical research is like. In the final year of the programme, students prepare for their future role as a doctor througha transitioning programme and a junior internship to allow them to start becoming familiar with their specific roles and responsibilities.
