Hi, I am Maisie and I am a second year medical student at the University of Exeter. Ihave absolutely loved the last two years at medical school- they are definitely worththe hard work and dedication!
The structure of the course at Exeter is one of the main factors that appealed to mewhen deciding on which universities to apply to. Going on placement from your first weekand having clinical exposure so early in your career is so important in order to becomecomfortable in a hospital setting. It was nerve wracking in the beginning however theuniversity is so supportive and always there to answer any questions. My favourite partof the course would definitely be clinical skills- I start to feel like a real doctorduring these sessions!
Exeter is an amazing city to live in as a student. Not only are you very central to thehospitals but also to the beach which is only a 30 minute journey away! I would love tobe able to answer any questions you may have about applying.
