Entry into medicine
Medical students with dependents, December 2006
This guidance from the Medical Students Committee includes information on: The legal responsibilities of the Medical School and the student, formal and informal processes for students with dependents, communication, flexible support network and adapting to the needs of students with dependents – current best practice.
The charter, as agreed between the Council of Heads of Medical Schools and the BMA Medical Students Committee, sets out the responsibilities of medical students and their medical schools when the student is an undergraduate. Although this is not a legal document, it complements current medical school policies and procedures and we hope, will promote a more coherent relationship between student and deanery and help improve students’ learning experiences.
