The National Student Association of Medical Research
“The National Student Association of Medical Research (NSAMR) is a new, student led initiative aimed at promoting research and academic medicine amongst medical students. The association is a collaborative network composed of research societies throughout the UK which enables the sharing of ideas and resources and provides students with a national voice on issues pertaining to research and academic training.
We strongly believe that students have a lot to contribute in terms of research and that equally, research adds extra depth to undergraduate medical studies. We aim to make more funding available for student research related events and provide opportunities for student involvement in medical research and to reward excellence in student research.”
Year 3 Celebrating Excellence in SSCs
