Humzah Khan

As a first generation medical student from a widening participation background, I am passionate about improving access to Medicine for students who may not otherwise feel represented in the field. Having attended a state comprehensive school and state sixth form before joining UCL, I understand many of the barriers prospective applicants face. Over the past year, I have self-organised and delivered multiple outreach initiatives, including webinars, interview workshops, school talks, and free mentoring for aspiring medics, particularly toward WP and AccessUCL applicants. I delivered talks on the medicine application process, interview preparation, and building confidence as applicants from underrepresented backgrounds. Alongside this, I currently serve as a Target Medicine UCL mentor, supporting UCL Medical School’s own widening participation programme. These experiences have strengthened my communication, leadership, and organisational skills, while reinforcing my commitment to creating accessible, supportive, and impactful outreach initiatives within MedSoc.
