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.
- 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.
- 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.
