DP1 – DP2: Lunch Connect on Medicine – Friday, 11 April, DP Cafeteria@13h30-14h45

The University Counseling Team is excited to announce a Lunch Connect session on Medicine for DP1 and DP2 students interested in pursuing medical and health-related fields. We’ve noticed a growing interest in Medicine among our DP1 students and have received feedback that such a lunch connect session would be beneficial to them. This session will be a valuable opportunity for DP1 students to hear firsthand experiences about the intricate application process, summer courses, internships, entry exams, and university research from those currently navigating or finalising this journey. If you’re considering a career in Medicine or a related field, don’t miss out on this chance to gain practical advice and ask questions!
