This afternoon we've been at the Intercalated BSc Fair, talking to potential students about our range of courses for fourth-year students - while sharing out some lung-shaped biscuits along the way! 🫁🍪

Thanks to @NSARDAOrg for once again bringing the students' favourite rescue workers! Doug and Bran were both exceptionally good boys.

Our BSc Remote Medicine cohort explored the Brecon Beacons in Wales, to practice outdoor skills and collect data on their physiological responses to walking 🏔️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

They were supported by a special helper Dug, the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team's Search and Rescue dog 🐶

A very warm welcome (or welcome back) to our students at Imperial! 👋 Are you joining us for your intercalated year in Remote Medicine, Translational and Respiratory Medicine or Cardiovascular Sciences? Here's what last year's students had to say about the courses 👇

The @ActionPFcharity study finder is a great tool, we have listed a new survey for UK patients on air-travel experiences: designed by a brilliant medical student! @ICRemoteMed @ImperialNHLI @patientMpower https://t.co/VmSpyQmVQp

[Royal Institution (now on Bluesky) @Ri_Science]

📺 NEW VIDEO📺

Erika Nesvold explores the ethical considerations of space settlement, delving into the complex issues surrounding the prospect of life in outer space.

"Thanks for the insight into space medicine, that's awesome to hear! ...[are there] any opportunities outwith Imperial to go into it even more (... as you mention an ESA project)?"

- Not officially, but students have gone on to internships at ESA on the basis of their experience

[Imperial Remote Medicine @ICRemoteMed]

"Is there anything or any experience that students have previously that helps set them up best for the application?"
- What you do or enjoy related to the BSc, what you will get from joining us - How does doing Remote Medicine BSc help advance your career?

[Imperial Remote Medicine @ICRemoteMed]

"What sort of research titles have been used by previous students?"
- We try to cover all the topics we teach;
- Extreme physiology (cold, hypoxia, exercise)
- Rural and Remote Healthcare (Scottish NHS, expedition monitoring)
- Medical Technology (telemedicine)

[Imperial Remote Medicine @ICRemoteMed]

"What parts of the course have current students enjoyed the most?"
- The field trip(!), physiology practicals, the passion and enthusiasm of speakers

The field trip is a highlight of the BSc, but couldn't be run without the volunteers who make it a safe and successful educational experience. If you work at @imperialcollege come help!

At the end of a hard day in the field, staff and students head back to inside to prepare dinner, analyse data and debrief on the day's activities. Excellent food cooked up by the students, none of which went to waste!😋

[NHLI @ImperialNHLI]

Meanwhile, others headed onto the hills, with the aim to collect physiology data in the outdoors on our own varied responses to exercise, away from the lab. We also practiced skills such as map reading🧭

It was also a soggy introduction for those new to the Welsh mountains!☔️
