Dr. Britain

A first year medical student chronicling his process through medical school. There will be tears, there will be laughter, and above all there will be a hunter green stethoscope. I hope you enjoy my humble ramblings, and i'll be happy to answer any questions.
I AM NOT A DOCTOR, SIMPLY A STUDENT, WHO CHOSE A FUNKY NAME. ANY ACTUAL ADVICE SHOULD BE ATTAINED FROM A PROPER MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL - NOT SOME GUY ON THE INTERNET!

Advice for a medical applicant:

When going round your Universities on visit days, just think to yourself, do i match what they want, for instance, i think I’m the perfect case for a PBL based course, i think the personality of a doctor is very important , so i match perfectly with PBL (problem based learning) and to some extent integrated courses, but my approach would be completely incompatible with say a traditional course.

When you’ve decided what kind of applicant you think you are, try tailor your statement to those kind of places, i’ll get back to you if it works!
