Leeds Academic Development, Education and Research Society (LEADERS) was established in the belief that academic medicine should be accessible to all students, whatever their stage of training. If you have an interest in research or a future in academic medicine, we are here to help you develop the skills and experience that will allow you to fulfill your potential. Research opportunities are abou
nd in Leeds, but it is often difficult to know where to look or who to approach. Similarly, the academic pathway is not always easy to navigate. Through our events and our website we aim to provide information that will allow students to pursue their interest, whether this is through matching students with researchers, signposting to relevant opportunities such as summer work, conferences and prizes, or simply raising the profile of the research happening here in Leeds.
