Join our Association undergraduate assessor panel
If you’re passionate about undergraduate medical education, the Association is looking to expand its panel of assessors for our undergraduate awards due to an increasing number of applications. We offer two exciting opportunities for medical students studying in Great Britain and Ireland:
- Undergraduate elective funding: Awarded twice a year, medical students can receive up to £750 towards their medical student elective period. Preference is given to projects relevant to anaesthesia, intensive care, or pain relief, especially in developing countries.
- Wylie Medal Undergraduate Essay Prize: An annual 1000-word essay competition on a chosen topic by our Research, and Innovation Committee.
As an assessor, you'll play a vital role in scoring applications using defined scoring criteria with marking guides to ensure consistency, through our online system.
Why volunteer?
Shape the next generation: Your feedback will help aspiring doctors access career-defining elective experiences.
Professional growth: You’ll receive evidence for your portfolio or revalidation after each scoring round.
Stay connected: Receive updates from students you’ve helped as they travel and learn during their electives.
Time commitment
Funding is awarded twice a year, with scoring rounds typically taking place in February and September. All assessments are done online, giving you the flexibility to review applications at your convenience.
