| الوصف: | Context Widening participation to medicine aims to remove barriers to medical education for under-represented groups. This study examined the impact of a widening participation workshop for medical school applicants. The intervention was delivered by a team of medical student volunteers operating in the North West of England: Manchester Outreach Medics. Methods 39 pupils, typically aged 16-17, attended the workshop at Royal Blackburn Hospital, Lancashire. Activities included a variety of lectures and interactive group sessions. Using questionnaires, participants highlighted their understanding in areas relating to the medical school application process on a scale of zero to ten. This was performed before and after the intervention to allow for comparison. The results were evaluated using a one-tailed paired t-test and Cohen's d effect size. Results There was a significant improvement (p 0.8) in the understanding of all topics assessed. The largest improvements were seen in topics that the participants had little understanding in prior to attending the workshop. Conclusions This student-led activity improved participant understanding in areas pertaining to the medical school application process. The study also showed the effectiveness of pre- and post-intervention questionnaires, which could be used by all post-16 medical widening participation activities in the UK. |
