Medicine
Why Pembroke?
The Oxford Medical School is ranked as the best in the world and the Pembroke medical students benefit greatly from being part of this world-leading course. 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.
The university is a world leader in Medical and Biomedical Research. Our medical teaching and research are intimately linked and students are not only taught by world experts, but also have the opportunity to undertake original cutting edge research as a part of their degree. The National Student Survey has consistently ranked Oxford as the best medical course in the UK. At Pembroke, we have an impressive group of tutors and lecturers who look after and teach the medical students throughout their time at Oxford.
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 Lois Brand (Deputy head of the Clinical School and A&E consultant), Richard Harrington (Deputy head of the Graduate Entry course and GP), and PG Roy and Jonny Rees who are both leading consultant surgeons. In addition, the college has a growing number of young highly skilled and enthusiastic tutors to support the pre-clinical and clinical students.
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.
What extra activities do we offer?
We hold several dinners throughout the academic year to bring the Pembroke medical community together. Alumni are invited back to College to share inspirational stories of where their medical degree has taken them.
Could you become a Pembroke Medic?
Strong academic engagement and a commitment to medicine are key to be successful in this subject. Students need to be able to engage with a problem and explore numerous possible solutions.
If you are considering this course, please attend an open day where you can meet our tutors and students and find out more. This is the best way to get a feel for whether you should make an application. We look forward to meeting you!
The Rokos Internship Scheme provides full funding for academic summer internships.
Pembroke non-finalist STEM students are eligible for up to £1,000 funding for summer internships, allowing them to gain hands-on research experience. The award covers all academic and living expenses, including accommodation.
Below are some reports from Medicine students who used this award in the last few years:
Ariff Castronovo
Ariff took part in a 6-week internship at the Blizard Institute using the Rokos Award Fund. This institue is part of the Barts and London School of Medicine and based on the Royal London Hospital campus.
Ariff shares: "This research experience has pushed me towards thinking about a dual track academic-clinical training pathway, for example, though the Academic Specialised Foundation Programme. I have come to understand that I would need the added diversion and interest from clinical practice alongside any scientific research. I also would want my research work to have clear implications for clinical treatment and therefore improve the lives of my future patients."
Vanessa McLoughlin
Supported by a Rokos Award, Vanessa was able to undertake a research internship in Singapore:
"After the end of my first year, I joined the Singapore Institute of Clinical Sciences for 2 months, supported generously by the Rokos Scholarship from Pembroke. My role consisted of data analysis from a prospective study of young families in Singapore, and I wrote up my findings in a paper published in the Annals, Academy of Medicine (a journal with an impact factor of 8.7)."
