This year, Gonville and Caius Medical Society will be running an Access Day on 20th January from 10:00 through to the late afternoon. This day intends to introduce students to Medicine at Cambridge, with a range of different events running throughout the day. All these events will be held online, and students will need to register their interest if they wish to be considered for a place. Each session will last about 45 minutes and will give a comprehensive overview/insight into Medicine at Cambridge.
Overview of sessions running:
– Medicine at Cambridge Talk
