About Us
Conquest Medschools was founded by Dr Fiona Pathiraja and Dr Marie-Claire Wilson, who graduated from top medical schools and wanted to help others realise their dreams of studying medicine. We believe that the type of school you go to or your family’s financial situation shouldn’t prevent you from applying to and being successful at medical school. The founders both have experience of interviewing at medical schools and write regularly on medical topics.
