Clinical procedures · Patient interaction

Jana Ladki

Since 10th grade, I have developed a strong interest in the field of medicine, particularly in both hands-on clinical procedures and patient interaction. At school, I'm part of the medico-club and I study science subjects including mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, all of which I am deeply passionate about.

To further explore my interest, I participated in a two-week “Young Doctor Experience” program with InvestIN in Central London. During this program, I practiced essential clinical skills such as CPR and suturing, met and interacted with patients by taking medical histories and consultation notes, and gained insight into building a strong medical-school application through guidance on personal statements and interviews.

I also experienced simulated hospital environments, including shadowing doctors on ward rounds and working in emergency-medicine scenarios where I treated a robotic patient in a trauma setting with real-time feedback from professionals. Additionally, I learned how to take blood and practiced on prosthetic arms. Beyond this, I have completed internships and am certified in First Aid and AED use for all age groups.

Surgery · Patient care

Louloua El Masri

Ever since I was young, I've been interested in the medical field as a whole, particularly in the occupations involving surgery and patient care. At school, I'm a member of our medical club, and I have acquired a CPR certificate that qualifies me to perform it if ever needed.

I also study scientific subjects such as maths, physics, chemistry and biology, which I am deeply fond of and very interested in. To improve my knowledge of this discipline, I took a week-long course during my December break. During this internship, I learned how to suture stitches and gained insight into what it is to be a doctor.

I hope to get many more opportunities in the future to nurture my passion.
