The 2022 Annual Teachers Conference took place on Wednesday 15 June 2022.
This year we welcomed three Imperial College London medical students, Thivyaa, Hamza and Hareef as our keynote speakers. The students shared stories of their unique and inspiring journeys into medical school and the experiences that have shaped them as medical students. They discussed what it means to them to belong within the medical school and the power of relationships and connections in forming their identities as future doctors.
A question and answer session with the audience followed their keynote presentations.
