Student Competition Winners
Thank you to everyone who entered the IME Student Competition 'Medical Ethics in the Life Experiences of the Developing Professional.'
Organised by the IME Student Council, in conjunction with the Education Committee, students were challenged to submit an essay or a creative arts/humanities piece that communicated a transformative experience which caused them to tackle an ethical dilemma. The standard was extremely high and demonstrated a broad scope of ethical dilemmas and issues.
The competition was judged by members of the Student Council and the IME Education Committee and we are now delighted to announce our winners!
Congratulations to all the winners who will each receive a cash prize and one year’s IME membership.
We would like to say a big thank you once again to everyone who took part.
