  • Todays video is all about how I got into MEDICAL SCHOOL, my crazy journey and how I eventually got there. It really has not been easy but I can OFFICIALLY say I will be off to study Medicine in September and I couldn't be more excited. It may have taken a while but we got there in the end...
    The more people you talk to, the more you realise nobody has a straight forward path. But when I made the decision to become a doctor, I was so nervous and worried that it was too late and that the path to get there was too risky. I really hope my 'non traditional' journey to medical school shows you not to be afraid to do things that aren't the 'norm' and that it's never too late to change your mind.

    • @annarebecca
      @annarebecca  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Try your best to contact as many people as possible, friends, friends of friends, anyone you know in the medical field. Unfortunately, connections really do help so anyone you kinda know politely ask them if they can help in any way. Keep trying until you find someone, however saying all this i know they are making exceptions this year because of COVID so look on the entry requirements for each medical school and see what they have said. i hope this helps x

    Congrats on your achievements. I started working as a care giver in social care settings and I come from the Arts background. Already have a degree in Art lol I found my real passion which was helping people but I'm still debating which route to take psychology or medicine. Also I don't regret having done a totally different degree as it made me more mature. I'm happy for you and the journey is exciting!

    • @annarebecca

    Hi Anna,
    Good video keep them coming, looking forward to following your story. Im currently studying psychology with the OU. My original intention was to work towards becoming a Clinical Psychologist but I've recently changed my focus and now aiming to be a Psychiatrist. So after I've completed my degree in a few years I will be applying to Med school as a grad student.

    also if you take, chemistry and biology it will keep many medical schools open for you to apply to, if you take another subject such as PE or Phycology this will help but taking other subjects like RE will show you are a well rounded person which med schools like

    Wondering how UCAT scores work, or where to apply with your UCAT score to increase your chances of becoming a top doctor? If you have any question regarding your medical admission then iCanMed will help you. I took admission in iCanMed’s UCAT preparation course and get admission in the top medical university in the UK.

    The podcast More Than Medical Students puts forward med students with projects and passions to learn more about them and be inspired!
