In addition to providing undergraduate medical education, the School provides a range of postgraduate medical education programmes and has a medical education research unit and an education consultancy unit.

UCL has offered education in medicine since 1834. The currently configured and titled medical school was established in 2008 following mergers between UCLH Medical School and the medical school of the Middlesex Hospital (in 1987) and The Royal Free Hospital Medical School (in 1998).

The School's clinical teaching is primarily conducted at University College Hospital, The Royal Free Hospital and the Whittington Hospital, with other associated teaching hospitals including the Eastman Dental Hospital, Great Ormond Street Hospital, Moorfields Eye Hospital, the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery and the Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital.

The School is currently ranked 2nd in the UK by the Complete University Guide 2015, 3rd by the Guardian University Guide 2015, and 8th in the world by the QS World University Rankings.

UCL Medical School formed over a number of years from the merger of a number of institutions:[1]

Middlesex Hospital and University College Hospital merged their medical schools in 1987 to form University College & Middlesex School of Medicine (UCMSM).

In 1998 The Royal Free & University College Medical School (RFUCMS) was formed from the merger of the two medical schools. On 1 October 2008, it was officially renamed UCL Medical School.[2]

In appreciation of the historic beginnings of UCL Medical School, its student society has retained the name "RUMS" (Royal Free, University College and Middlesex Medical Students Society) and runs clubs and societies within University College London Union.[3]

The medical school is one of the largest in the country with a yearly intake of 330 students.[4] Undergraduate teaching is spread across three campuses based in Bloomsbury (the Cruciform, University College Hospital, the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Obstetric Hospital), at Archway (the Whittington Hospital and the former Royal Holborn Infirmary) and in Hampstead (the Royal Free Hospital).[5]

It has arguably some of the best clinical sites in the country including: Great Ormond Street Hospital, The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (Queen's Square), Moorfields Eye Hospital, The Heart Hospital, The Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital and the Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear Hospital.

A multinational firm, Sifax Group, has said that corporate social responsibility is at the core of the companys business philosophy.

The groups Marketing & Corporate Affairs, Mr. Oliver Omajuwa, stated this when the company presented new Toyota Hiace 18-seater bus to the medical students of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Osun State.

He said, Sifax Group has a philosophy of positively impacting the society. The company is about not only profit making but also contributing its quota to the development of critical areas. One of such key areas for us is education. From primary school to the university level, it has been supporting institutions through various avenues, especially in the provision of infrastructure and equipment.

This gesture is in furtherance of our belief that the private sector has an important role to play in the improvement of the quality of education in the country. We are particularly excited that this bus would of great help to the medical students, in particular and the university as a whole.

The Provost, College of Health Sciences, Prof. Adesegun Fatusi, in his remarks, noted that universities needed to build solid partnerships with various stakeholders in order to fulfil their objectives.

According to Fatusi, collaboration with such stakeholders as corporate organisations, alumni, parents, students, and staff is necessary in view of the inadequate allocations the universities receive from the governments.

He thanked the company for the gesture, which he described as historic.

Fatusi added, This College of Health Sciences is 42 years old and I can confirm to you that this is the first time that a corporate organisation would be donating a bus to us. This donation is a demonstration of a different sense of thinking. We want to express our appreciation to Sifax Group for this benevolence and we believe it is a beginning of a lasting partnership between the university and the company.

He urged other firms to emulate the company by supporting enduring and socially impactful initiatives in education.

According to him, education pays the biggest dividends and contributes greatly to the development of society.

To her bemusement, Kriebel became a baker par excellence. Less surprising, Pumo, Legassie and ONeill emerged as standouts in well, nursing, cosmetology and electronics.

All four will share their stories when Central Montco Technical High School inducts them into its Distinguished Alumni Association on April 30.

When Kriebel was a 17-year-old culinary arts student at Central Montco Technical High School in the late 1990s, she was admittedly shocked at her baking prowess. As she told it back then, shed enrolled at CMTHS on something of a whim. But by time she snagged first prize for baking at 1999s state-level contest for Vocational-Industrial Clubs of America members, Kriebel had impressed her CMTHS teachers in a big way especially when it came to pie.

The first one I made was apple, and it was unbelievable, she noted in one memorably droll interview following her VICA win. Everybody knew I wasnt really that interested in cooking, so we were all surprised at my skills. Mr. S. [Seth Schram] and Mr. N. [Alan Nesensohn] were both shocked and said, Whoa, this girl has talent. I was pretty shocked myself. I never thought Id get this far. I think winning States was the best thing thats ever happened to me.

As another quotable woman writer S.E. Hinton famously put it: That Was Then, This Is Now. Following her 1999 graduation from both CMTHS and Plymouth Whitemarsh High School, Kriebel earned a degree in baking and pastry arts at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America. The Plymouth native went on to a variety of related experiences but eventually found my passion as a cake designer and is currently making her mark on an equally appreciative but much wider audience via the singular cakes and pastries produced at her Kriebels Custom Bakery in Eagleville.

Kriebel credits her CMTHS teachers for the whole chain of events that led to her achievements and is now involved in student intern and externships, even doing co-op positions for the tech school.

The bakery is a huge success, and our clientele grows bigger and bigger every day, she says. Our next step will be expanding into a larger shop or a caf. Who knows what the future will bring. I realize now that my passion for my craft, my dedication and my commitment to baking all began at the tech school.

On the other hand, CMTHS classmate and fellow Distinguished Alumni inductee Pumo enrolled in the schools Allied Health program because it allowed her to begin my journey in becoming a nurse.

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a nurse, recalls the 1999 CMTHS and Norristown Area High School grad, now an emergency room staffer at Einstein Medical Center Montgomery. As a small child, I can remember walking around my childhood home with my Fisher Price first aid kit, wearing my play stethoscope, listening to everyones heart and putting [bandages] on them. At the age of 12, I began volunteering first at Sacred Heart Hospital and then at Mercy Suburban Hospital. My volunteer experiences led me to apply to the Allied Health Program Continued...
