The Pears Cumbria School of Medicine is a unique partnership between the University of Cumbria and Imperial College London.
Our students spent time at the University of Cumbria's Barrow Campus & Furness General Hospital learning more about health, medicine and healthcare provision in South Cumbria. They will also be spending time in the region on placement to immerse themselves in community-based and regional medicine.
