Dr Sian Mitchell MBBS, Bsc

Dr Sian Mitchell completed her medical school training and iBsc in Reproductive and developmental sciences at Imperial College, London in 2015. Throughout medical school, she was actively involved in numerous widening participation projects and mentorship programmes. 

After being a student of the Sutton Trust summer school and receiving the encouragement and advice needed to apply to medical school, there was a growing determination to give back and help others on their journey. This desire led her to get involved with the Modern day medics team and to continue to help aspiring medics achieve their dreams. She is currently an obstetric and gynaecology trainee in London and hugely passionate about women’s health. She hopes to be able to use this platform to raise awareness about the disparity in maternal health and encourage more BAME students into the speciality.
