Introduction
The Richard Doll Society (RDS) is Green Templeton’s vibrant student-led medical and allied health care society. Our aim is to enhance the medical and health care community at GTC by connecting students, prospective applicants, and alumni. Our work is focused into five main domains (see below with some examples):
- Educational Enrichment – basic surgical skills workshops, ‘Coding for Medicine’, ‘Alternative Careers Evening’
- Outreach – annual workshop for underprivileged sixth-form students to learn about Medicine at Oxford, practise interview technique, and work on personal statements
- Social and Networking – annual RDS conference featuring an array of engaging and eminent speakers
- Mentoring – via current and past fellows, teaching associates, common room members and alumni
- Alumni – over 1,200 contactable medical members in the GTC alumni network
