I’m really excited to increase the focus medical ethics is given at medical school, as it’s extremely fascinating and more relevant to clinical practise than a lot of people think!

Aishwarya Shah

Chair

UCL, 4th year

There is so much that medical students and allied healthcare professionals can learn about and debate with regards to medical ethics. However, despite its significance, it tends to make up only a small part of teaching curricula. I look forward to working with the IME team to bring you a series of enriching educational events and stimulating discussions!
