Our First Year Heard (OFYH)
This exhibition is a form of ‘natural experiment’ where students were invited to explore their experiences of the Pandemic – we invite you to submit your perspectives – and contribute to this unique creative research and dialogue
We hope this interactive process will illuminate and inform future medical education.
