Before Christmas, Kiera McQuaid of Banbridge Academy, entered a medical essay competition for “Mentor Magazine” in which she was tasked with writing an essay from the point of view of a doctor. Her chosen title was, ‘A virtuous doctor is the best type of doctor. To what extent do you agree?’.  Kiera began with research using medical journals and reflected on her Religious Studies A level work to complete an impressive piece of writing. We are very proud to announce that Kiera’s essay won the competition and has been published in an edition of “Mentor Magazine”. Mentor Magazine is a national print and online publication dedicated to applying healthcare students. The magazine contains wider reading to inform and inspire aspiring medical, veterinary, and dental students and their university counterparts. Well done Kiera on all of your efforts.
