Garry Dubickas graduated with an MSc in Human Anatomy in 2017. 

He embarked on his journey to study medicine as mature student at the age of 54, graduating at the age of 60.

Despite facing numerous obstacles including dyslexia, Garry never lost sight of his dream to become a doctor and became a role model for his peers during his studies.

One colleague said: “Garry exemplifies the qualities that Edinburgh Medical School celebrates: perseverance, adaptability, and a commitment to making a difference. His journey through medical school was not just about personal achievement but also about breaking stereotypes and inspiring others. As a mature student, he brought a unique perspective to his studies, offering wisdom, life experience, and a deep empathy for patients and peers alike."
