The Association of International Medics UK (AIM UK) is a non-profit initiative established in 2021 by a group of international medical students training in the UK. AIM UK was started because we saw a gap in the support provided by institutions for international medics. AIM UK aspires to bridge that gap in support around professional development and advocate for international medical students and doctors in the UK, without a focus on their country of origin or place of prior education. We believe that no international aspiring medic, medical student or doctor in the UK should be disadvantaged for not knowing someone further along the journey they are on. We believe that supporting international medics involves empowering individuals with information on personal/professional progression while providing role models following a similar path. We aim to build a platform containing information on medical training in the UK for international medical students and doctors. We share the experiences of our contributors on a range of topics all the way from applying to medical school to becoming a consultant in the form of weekly blog posts on our website (https://associntmedicsuk.wixsite.com/home). We are also working to produce an international med student guide and launch a national research network to generate evidence about the experience of international medical students in the UK.
