The Student Panel is now accepting applications!

What is the OUP Medicine student panel?

Our medicine student panel is made up of students from the UK and Republic of Ireland currently studying for medical degrees. We're currently looking for new applicants. Students from any year of any medical degree are eligible, but we're specifically looking for 3rd, 4th, and 5th years.

Why does OUP have a medical student panel?

OUP publishes a wide range of student-focused medical texts, and the student panel allows us to gather feedback and opinions on our products from real med students. It's how we make sure our new titles and new editions really meet your needs.

What will being on a student panel involve?

You will be contacted, mainly via email, and expected to:

* complete 4 - 5 online surveys a year
* review and offer opinions on new publishing ideas

In addition you may be invited to attend a focus group with students from other universities or undertake telephone interviews.

Students should be prepared to sign up as a representative for the remainder of their degree course.

How will I be rewarded?

As a participating student you will be given £75 worth of OUP books of your choice, based on your participation each term, and this will be paid in instalments across the year. This book allowance will be added to your student rep account, to claim as and when you need it. If you participate across two terms, you can potentially earn £150 worth of OUP books!

From time to time you may be invited to take part in research projects (which could be either marketing, or editorial in nature), and these sorts of projects may take up more of your time, for which additional reward MAY be offered. Please note, if you are invited to attend a focus group all travel and other expenses will be reimbursed.
