Student membership

We believe in supporting members throughout their careers - not just in times of crisis. Our commitment to you begins in your first year at medical school and continues throughout your education and professional career.

Student membership* is free and provides you with access to a comprehensive range of services including:

  • Free dictionary for freshers

    Students applying in their first year receive the Oxford Concise Medical Dictionary.

  • Book discounts

    We've negotiated some great discounts on text books, courses and other publications such as travel guides.

  • Advice 24 hours a day

    When you need advice on medico-legal issues, simply call our freephone 24-hour advisory helpline.

  • Elective support

    We can provide you with a wealth of advice, both on our website and in our free electives guide. We can also provide free indemnity for your elective.

  • Sponsorship of student events

    We believe in supporting student events and can sponsor both academic and student events.

Alternatively you can download a membership form.
