"Hi I'm Heather, and I'm a first-year GEM (that's graduate-entry medicine FYI)student at the University of Nottingham. My journey to medicine has not been easy; Ididn't get any offers to study medicine in high school, followed by achieving poormarks in my IB. However, after completing a BSc in Pharmacology, an MSc inCardiovascular Science, and a lot more hard work in between, I finally got acceptedonto a graduate medical program. I know what it's like to feel like you're nevergoing to make it but trust me, every event in your life is just preparing you forsomething better, and you will achieve your dreams, and more, in the end."

‘I’m a medical student at the University of Nottingham, and I knew Nottingham wasfor me on the day of my interview. Talking to senior students, fellow intervieweesand the overwhelmingly friendly atmosphere on the day just made me realise thatNottingham may be one of the few medical schools, where you have a fine balancebetween strong competition amongst peers and a sense of obligation to aid thosearound you in their studies too. Medicine can be a very demanding, cut-throat path,so having an atmosphere like this, especially as an impressionable young medicalstudent, I thought would be very beneficial for myself. Now, after being here forseveral months, I know that my initial judgement was right!

My experiences of the way in which the pre-clinical course is delivered has beengreat; weekly case studies, supplemented by lectures on anatomy, physiology andpharmacology to make sense of the condition being presented in the case. Then, atthe end of the week a plenary session is delivered by a consultant specialised inthat particular condition, in order to answer any additional questions.

Also, anatomy is taught through a combination of prosections and full bodydissections, and these sessions went ahead as normal, in a safe manner, despite theon-going pandemic, which I believe is testament to the University of NottinghamMedical School and its staff.’
