Welcome to the website of the Royal Medical Society.
The society is run by medical students for medical students at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland
Due to the current situation, the RMS rooms are closed until further notice and there are no further events this semester. All the online resources are available as normal and we can be contacted by email or social media if you have any questions.
If you wish to use your free time to help out along side other medical students there have been several initiatives set up that you can get involved in:
Stay safe!
Our premises are located in the Student Centre at Potterrow, Bristo Square and house our offices, lounge, computer room, medical library, clinical skills resource room, lecture theatre
