Student Membership | The Royal Society of Medicine

Select your product

Do I qualify?

To qualify for the undergraduate medical grade, you must be studying medicine, dentistry, or veterinary science at an approved UK educational establishment.

If you are studying medicine in a different country than the UK, you can also join in the student category as long as you provide a letter of confirmation from your medical school with information about the course you are studying and your projected date of qualification.

Undergraduate non-medical grade is applicable to you if you are studying full-time for your first undergraduate qualification that does not lead to qualification as a doctor, dentist or vet. You must be studying a healthcare-related subject and not earning any income.

Please note, the A-Level membership grade is no longer available.
