SPCR Summer Interns

We have two interns each year. In 2018, Nathan Jeffreys and Jessica Xie undertook projects about supporting medical student mental health (Nathan e.g. including SPCR post presentation on their website) and Jessica about culinary medicine learner needs (we have now launched the course this academic year and the BBC are soon to observe and do a press release with Rupy Culinary Medicine UK). 

In 2019, Juhi (Chair of our GP Med Soc) and Josephine Elliott were our interns. Juhi contributed to a paper about PPI in realist health care reviews and Josephine to a review of Generalism.
