This programme is taught with a very low student-to-tutor ratio, so you will likely meet several different doctors during your time with us. This also allows you to spend as much time as necessary to practice techniques until you are confident. The Cardiac & Pulmonary Medicine programme is designed for students aged 16-19 hoping to study healthcare related subjects such Medicine, Nursing and Biomedical Science at university. Your experience will act as a great point of reference during university application and interview processes.
