Widening access
to medicine in Scotland
Developing a national Scottish platform with fair access to resources for prospective medical students.
How can we support you?
Welcome to "You Can Be A Doctor," a Scottish charity dedicated to breaking down barriers and empowering individuals from underprivileged backgrounds to pursue a career in medicine. Our mission is to create equal opportunities for all aspiring doctors, regardless of their socioeconomic status.
To ensure that our resources are directed towards those who need them the most, we will be limiting access to events and resources to only those who fit our eligibility criteria.
