BOA Session
The session is aimed at providing 16–17-year-olds from disadvantaged backgrounds with valuable insight, information, and guidance about careers in medicine.
This initiative is about signposting clear pathways — both traditional and alternative — to help students understand how they can pursue a future in medicine, namely orthopaedics, no matter their background.
By offering practical advice, real-life experiences, and opportunities to engage with professionals, we aim to inform and empower students to see these careers as both achievable and rewarding.
This half-day experience offers:
Guidance on traditional and alternative routes into medical school
Real-world insights into becoming a Medical Student
Hands-on workshops to try out clinical skills
Opportunities to hear from industry partners
By creating early access to these experiences, we hope to spark ambition and make healthcare careers more inclusive, one student at a time.
