About us
Who are we?
Imperial College School of Medicine (ICSM) Vision is an outreach society run by medical students at Imperial College London supporting aspiring medics through conferences, programmes, and events, widening access to Medicine. Students from lower socioeconomic classes are under-represented in UK medical schools; both the proportion of applications and the acceptance rates are markedly lower for students from this background. ICSM Vision aims to inspire and motivate potential applicants from disadvantaged backgrounds, providing an insight into medicine and guidance on the application process.
We are committed to widening participation and supporting aspiring medical students, especially those from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds. Our flagship annual event, the Mastering Your Medical Application (MMA) Day conference, with approximately 300 attendees each year, helps Medicine applicants prepare for their interviews; we coordinate and run impactful events like this one for free to empower students on their journey to success. To keep these initiatives thriving, we are supported by a dedicated and passionate team of annually elected committee members, student volunteers from Imperial College School of Medicine, as well as staff members of Imperial’s Faculty of Medicine and practising doctors in the NHS.
