Make a Medic is excited to announce that we will be running Medicine 101 in January 2021! Designed and delivered by Dr. Lasith Ranasinghe, it aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to clinical medicine.

We remember all too well the confusion most students experience as they transition from pre-clinical learning to the nebulous and less spoon-fed world of clinical medicine. Midway through your first clinical year, you may be thinking about exams and you may be concerned about how to best go about learning the content. The Make A Medic committee, with their wealth of teaching (and learning!) experience have crafted this course with the aim of covering all the main topics that form the bulk of clinical medicine exams at all medical schools. Here is a list of the topics tat we will be covering:

SATURDAY 23rd JANUARY

-CARDIOLOGY: ACS, Heart Failure, Arrhythmias, Valvular Disease, Peripheral Vascular Disease

-NEUROLOGY: Headache, Stroke, Dementia, Parkinson's Disease, Intracranial Haemorrhages

-HAEMATOLOGY & ENDOCRINOLOGY: Anaemia, Leukaemia, Lymphoma, Electrolyte Imbalances

-RENAL & UROLOGY: AKI, CKD, Urinary Tract Calculi, Prostate Disease, Scrotal Masses

SUNDAY 24th JANUARY

-RESPIRATORY: Asthma, COPD, Pneumonia, Pneumothorax, PE

-GASTROENTEROLOGY: Gallstone Diseases, Chronic Liver Disease, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Coeliac Disease, Intestinal Ischaemia, Jaundice

This course has been designed and will be delivered by our Founder & President Dr. Lasith Ranasinghe. Having graduated from Imperial College London, Laz has accumulated a huge amount of teaching experience having delivered hundreds of hours of lectures and tutorials, publishing two best-selling medical question books and consistently ranking within the top 3 of his cohort. He will be using an SBA-based approach with specially designed diagrams and schematics to illustrate key points in a memorable and easily digestible form. The approach has been trialed on small cohorts of clinical year students and adapted based on the feedback we have received.

Tickets are non-refundable, but can be swapped with another attendee.

All proceeds go to Make a Medic.
