Community Reflections
From welcoming our very first intake of just 67 medical students in 2000, Warwick Medical School has grown into a thriving community that we are proud to celebrate 25 years on.
Today, with more than 200 MB ChB students joining us each year, alongside undergraduates and postgraduates across a wide range of courses, WMS is home to over 2,000 students, educators, researchers and support staff based at Gibbet Hill and in our partner trusts and GP practices.

Significant stories/memories
I remember graduating from Warwick MBChB in 2011. I was given a small brown envelope which I had been asked to fill in on my first week at WMS. Inside it I needed to write a message to myself which I would then read just prior to Final Professional Examinations. When I received the envelope I had completely forgotten all about it and what was in it. I'll never forget the day I opened it though. Inside I had written 'Happiness is a choice. Remember how much they is to be happy about. You can do anything if you put your mind to it! Anything!'. It really gave me a final boost to revise for those final exams and I thought it was a brilliant exercise for Warwick to do. Now I teach at WMS and work as Academic lead for CCE in Phase II. It's been an amazing journey from that first acceptance letter to Warwick (another day I'll never forget- and I still have it) to now standing behind the desk in the main lecture theatre and being the one lucky enough to teach our students!
