Meet Alisha Panners 🌟

An MBBS scholarship student whose journey into medicine shows there’s no single path to becoming a doctor.

From changing careers and returning to education to overcoming personal challenges, Alisha’s determination led her to the MBBS programme, supported by the Mackenzie Scholarship, which covers her tuition fees. Now in her first year, she’s thriving in our hands‑on learning environment and shaping future interests in areas like orthopaedics and genetics.

She encourages others to take the chance, even if they don’t feel ready yet.
