I am a final-year medical student committed to widening access to medical education for underrepresented students.
My own challenges in applying to medical school inspired me to found the In2MedSchool Acceleration Programme (IAP) in 2021, an initiative designed to provide mentorship, academic support, and public health education to students aged 16-18. What started as a small programme supporting 18 schools has grown to over 80 schools and 1,000 students across the UK. In addition to leading IAP, I have worked to develop a structured curriculum, recruit a team of 97 volunteers, and build partnerships with key organizations, all while balancing the rigorous demands of medical school.
