Hear from our students
I signed up because I knew just how competitive medicine is, so I just jumped at as many opportunities as possible. I knew that it was a two-year programme where I could experience the medical school, gain work experience and even get lower grade boundaries if I completed the programme – how could I not sign up to it?
Thanks to the programme, I was able to secure work experience at Charing Cross Hospital working with an anaesthetist. It was really fascinating – I had the opportunity to put on scrubs and watch real surgeries take place.
Given the circumstances of COVID-19, this programme was a great way to gain advice and guidance by speaking to so many different people who have all had various experiences throughout their journey into medicine. It has also helped with the daunting application process and really helped to clarify what is needed of a strong medicine candidate!
I loved my experience on the programme, as there were various different tasks and activities to do. I gained an overall insight into medicine and I was able to be well-informed on the subject, which helped in making my decision to choose to study it at university.
