A beacon for first-class medical education and research
Dr Anna Romito is the Undergraduate Programme Director at Kent and Medway Medical School (KMMS). The School will offer first-class medical education and research, combining the strengths and expertise of two universities: Canterbury Christ Church University and University of Kent.
It is the region's first medical school and aims to be first choice for all those aspiring to achieve excellence in person-centred medical care in the UK. As Covid-19 has spread around the world, we have all, more than ever before, been able to fully appreciate the critical role our strong and resilient healthcare workers play in the care and support of our communities.
We have a responsibility to support our region, work force and the people of Kent and Medway and we feel proud to be at the heart of this major provision to build a stronger and healthier community at a time when the need for new doctors has never been more apparent.
We aim to raise £30M in philanthropic funding from grant-makers, research grants, corporate partners and individuals. Supporters can contribute across all aspects of academic and student life including support for students through scholarships and bursaries, access to medicine programmes, giving new opportunities to students from less advantaged backgrounds, sport and music; clinical/academic Chairs in support of research and teaching; buildings and infrastructure.
