About us
ICSM Vision is an outreach society run by medical students at Imperial College London supporting aspiring medics through conferences, programmes, and sessions, widening access to Medicine.
We are committed to widening participation and supporting aspiring medical students, especially those from disadvantaged and underrepresented backgrounds. Our flagship annual event, the Mastering Your Medical Application (MMA) Day conference, with approximately 300 attendees each year, helps Medicine applicants prepare for their interviews; we coordinate and run impactful events like this one for free to empower students on their journey to success. To keep these initiatives thriving, we are supported by a dedicated and passionate team of annually elected committee members, student volunteers from Imperial College School of Medicine, as well as staff members of Imperial’s Faculty of Medicine and practising doctors in the NHS.
