Medical School Graduate Entry

So... in year 3 and fancy applying for graduate entry medicine? What shall I do?

Firstly, read the following links (there are more available so this is not an exhausted list)

Guide 1

Guide 2

Guide 3

Guide 4

If it still sounds interesting then make an appointment to see your personal tutor and ask for an academic reference and signposting about to complete the UCAS test and form.

This book is one of many that would be a good resource and helpful in writing personal statements

Please allow at least 48 hours between requests to personal tutors for references and whilst we cannot give you a predicated grade we can recommend you (the same as saying you'll get a good enough grade) or offer an opinion based on your year 2 performance.

So…why tweet? Why a blog? And finally why isothiocyanates?

I wanted a quick and generic way to communicate with all my students.

The aim is to add value to Blackboard:

• Follow me on twitter and via my blog which will notify students of new announcements on blackboard shells. These announcements will have details about room changes, grades published etc.
• The blog will also contain non-module specific entries and links, but when needed have links to specific shells on Blackboard
• The blog will also be a source of additional reading, chapters to read prior to lectures, other links and research ideas and projects.

So, why isothiocyanates?

Isothiocyanates are the bitter taste in green vegetables like Brussels sprouts. Some people think they may help reduce the risk of cancer. I did my PhD on these little characters so I owe a lot to them!
