As a result the number of patients in the region admitted to hospital with ‘tropical’ diseases soared. Sir Alfred Jones donated £350 to set up a School of Tropical Medicine to investigate these outbreaks. In its first decades LSTM relied on the facilities of University College, now known as the University of Liverpool.

Student Reviews

Our confidence grows and we perceive ourselves.
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

Many possible extracurricular activities can be meaningful on a medical school application. If clinical work interests you, working in a free clinic, volunteering in an ER or other hospital department, "sitting" in a psychiatric department or shadowing physicians in any specialty can be significant experiences.
