Dear colleague,
Please take time to read about the International Medical Summer School 2010 below and from the attached files. The organising commitee welcomes participants from abroad and thus if you have contacts with medical students based in Malaysia/ Czech Republic/ Egypt/ Indonesia/ India or any other places, we would be very grateful if you could forward this email to them. Scholarships may be provided to selected students who are currently studying outside the UK and Ireland. Should you require more information, please do not hesitate to email me directly.
Many thanks.
Kind regards,
Mayura Damanhuri

INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL SUMMER SCHOOL
23rd – 27th August 2009, University of Manchester Campus
This week-long event is aimed at helping medical undergraduates develop a strong clinical, academic and research portfolio that will help them to pursue a career in a competitive surgical or medical speciality on completion of medical school. It will also help students obtain essential knowledge about their chosen speciality and develop the confidence to interact with consultants whilst undertaking clinical placements.
Day 1: Consultants from all medical and surgical specialities will give an overview (‘taster’) of their speciality. This will be particularly beneficial for students who are yet to decide on a particular speciality.
Day 2: Essential theoretical information including the management of common disorders and emergencies in the speciality of choice will be taught.
Day 3: Skills and practical sessions in the following areas - basic and intermediate surgical skills, basic orthopaedic skills, basic plastic surgical skills, laparoscopic skills, basic life support, basic paediatric life support, advanced life support, intermediate trauma life support, performing an ECG, undertaking ultrasound examination and echocardiography, and certain medical procedures such as inserting a central line, chest drain and performing a lumbar puncture.
Day 4: Pertinent information on various academic/research aspects such as intercalating and carrying out clinical and basic science research (leading to MSc/MRes/MPhil/ PhD). This day will also cover aspects related to undertaking clinical audits, oral and poster presentations, and publications, as well as discuss the pertinent aspects of academic training/academic career.
Day 5: Information on developing and nurturing a portfolio, and tips on entering a specialist training programme will be given. In addition, there will be sessions on careers outside the traditional curriculum. This will include talks from appropriate leaders who will provide information on careers in (i) Space Medicine, (ii) Conflict and Military Medicine (Royal Air Force, Army and Navy), and (iii) International Medicine and Public Health (World Health Organisation, United Nations and Médecins Sans Frontières).
There will be mentorship from Consultants and Specialists for interested students.
Lively social events will be available throughout the week and will take advantage of the long summer evenings!
