Medicine and Healthcare BTECs
Events of this year have been a powerful reminder of the vital importance of the role
of medicine and healthcare in society. With that in mind, we are delighted that so many
Reigate College students choose to go on to train as doctors and other healthcare
professionals – and this year is no exception.
The MVD Society has again been an invaluable source of support and guidance for
students applying to study Medicine, Veterinary Science and Dentistry. It gives students
the opportunity to discuss ethical issues and medical hot topics, hear talks from guest
speakers, attend additional events such as Operating Theatre Live, and receive advice on
personal statements, interview technique and arranging work experience. As a result, this
year’s MVD students have accepted the following offers (among others received):
