Debate Chamber 2D Young Doctors Summer School

The Young Doctors Summer School (run by Debate Chamber) is a two-day live online course introducing students to the world of medicine. Designed for curious 11-14 year olds, the course combines seminars on topics such as cardiology, the brain and lungs with practical case-study scenarios where students take the role of practitioners to diagnose and recommend treatment as part of a team.

Taught by medical students in small interactive seminar groups, the course mixes academic sessions with enjoyable activities and hands-on problem-solving. The 2026 online offering runs on 17-18 August 2026 with live teaching from 10:00-15:30 each day.

Sessions will not be recorded, so participants must be available for the scheduled hours and have a reliable audio/video internet connection.

Booking requires a 25% non-refundable deposit with the balance due eight weeks before the course. Debate Chamber offers a limited number of full and partial bursaries for students who could not otherwise afford to attend; bursary applications for Summer 2026 open in January.
