Dundee Widening Access to Medical School Society

The Dundee Widening Access to Medical School Society (DWAMSS) was founded by students in 2018 to support WA here in Dundee, and across Scotland. Our aim: to support primary and secondary school pupils raise their aspirations, to voice that they can achieve, and that we are here to aid them. We have designed workshops and talks to be run in classes, assemblies and career events, in addition to building a relationship with our local schools. Our workshops comprise of hands-on experiences with medical equipment in medical scenarios, ensuring all material relates back to their biology, chemistry and physics classes.

DWAMSS events are run by our bank of volunteer medical students, all of whom are given training on our workshops, coaching on how to work with secondary school pupils and ultimately experiences to learn vital teaching skills they can use all through medical school.
