Why Choose Pembroke?
Pembroke medical students join a strong tradition of Medicine at this college. We are proud of our large number of talented medicine graduates, which includes Professor Chris Whitty. We will train you to be an excellent clinician or if you have the interest, get you involved in research to become an academic clinician.
Our lead tutor in the subject at Pembroke is Prof Fredrik Karpe. Many of our medical tutors at Pembroke have leading positions in the Oxford medical community, including Dr Lois Brand (Deputy head of the Clinical School and A&E consultant), Dr Richard Harrington (Deputy head of the Graduate Entry course and GP), and PG Roy and Jonny Rees who are both leading consultant surgeons.
Pembroke has a large number of prizes for its medical students. They are both for academic achievement and to support summer internships. Our clinical students are eligible for generous funding for overseas placements and for their clinical electives.
