Dr. Afrosa Ahmed
Hi I am Co-Director and Co-Founder of Med School Entry. I graduated as a Medical Doctor from Kings’ College London, qualifying as a General Practitioner in 2005. I subsequently became a Mindfulness Coach, graduating from the UK College of Mindfulness Meditation and publishing my book ‘Mindful Healing’. I have a special interest in children’s health, obtaining a diploma in Child Health, from the RCPCH UK. My work with medical students has involved teaching at several prestigious London Medical Schools. My roles here included being a personal tutor, clinical skills tutor, doctor as tutor, clinical professional practice tutor at UCL and examiner. I have a Training to Teach Participation Certification from UCL Medical School. In addition, I have taught junior doctors from FY1 to registrars in General Practice training. I have experience of sitting on many Medical School Interview Panels and receiving specific interview training including Unconscious Bias and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. I have written many articles about Medicine and Medical Education, some published in leading medical journals such as the British Journal of General Practice. As part of my Work to support Widening Participation students, I am a Doctor Mentor for the Target Medicine Programme at UCL Medical School.
