Leading in our field
We are proud to provide world-class undergraduate medical education to medical students from the University of Leicester, postgraduate Physician Associate students from DeMontfort University, and GP Specialty Trainees.
Many of these clinical tutors work both within primary and secondary care and tend to lead on the tutorials for our students. Our outstanding students will be offered the opportunity to publish research through case reports and case series through the DMU-Willows Centre for Primary Care Research.
Our passion for high-quality education has been recognised through awards one for the ‘best undergraduate teaching practice’ and ‘Excellence in Clinical Tutorship’.
