We congratulate Lorna Clemans on being awarded a Distinction in the MA in Humanitarianism and Conflict Response at Manchester University. A grant from the Reid Trust enabled her to intercalate the MA into her medical degree and she currently works as a junior doctor at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital. Lorna’s ultimate aim is to do medical humanitarian work overseas and she also has an academic interest in global health. She writes: “During my MA I completed some really interesting research projects, some of which I had the opportunity to present at academic conferences. I won the Norah Schuster prize (a history of medicine award) for my essay on the humanitarian response to he Cambodian Khmer Rouge genocide and presented my findings at the Royal Society of Medicine conference in London. For my master’s dissertation I researched inequities in urban child health globally. I presented this at an international conference for paediatrics run by the Royal College of Paediatricians and Child Health in Birmingham. Thank you to the Reid Trust for all that their grant has helped me achieve.”
