Garry Dubickas

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

He embarked on his journey to study medicine as a 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."
