Are you a future doctor? Or a future dentist?
Are you scared to leave university, or excited? Do you know what you want to specialise in, or is that something you’ll figure out along the way? Where do you want to be in five years?
MDDUS x the 1to5 Project
Three medical students. Three dental students. Five years.
The 1to5 project is an Instagram-based documentary project where six students have been invited to share their lives and experiences as they transition from their final year of university to the first four years after qualifying from university.
We want to explore what starting a career in healthcare is like today, directly from the future doctors and dentists going through it.
