Cardiff Muslim Medics
Est. 2016. A faith-rooted, alumni-sustained medical society at Cardiff University, and the story of how it grew.
Our history
From a study circle in a Heath Park common room to a network of 500+ Muslim medics across Wales and beyond.
A society of Muslim medics, together since 2016.
Cardiff Muslim Medics started as a group of friends who couldn't find a quiet place to pray between ISCE stations. Today, we're a registered student society at Cardiff University, with active alumni in every Welsh deanery and most major UK trusts.
We're rooted in two things: the practice of medicine, and the practice of faith. The two are inseparable for our members, and the society exists to make both possible at once during the hardest years of medical training.
Run by students. Sustained by alumni.
- Humanitarian giving: annual graduation well through Muslim Hands and orphan sponsorship.
- Faith-rooted: Islamic ethics, jum'ah space, iftar dinners, every committee.
- Specialty mentorship: matched alumni in your chosen field.
- Community health: BLS training at mosques and occasional health checkups with BIMA.
