The Periodic Podcast

In Episode 7, I reflect on my first 2 months as a Graduate Entry Medic. From imposter syndrome, to study techniques and a glimpse into my daily schedule, this episode gave me a chance to think about this big life change!

In this episode, I take listeners through my guide to work experience relevant to UK medical school applications. I explain what I did to secure a place in graduate entry medicine and how I obtained my work experience. I also outline why work experience in central to the UK medical school application process. Finally, I take listeners through the STAR M method to assist in answering questions and reflecting on work experience in the interview phase of the application process.

In episode 5 I discuss my colourful journey to securing a place in Graduate Entry Medicine (GEM)! I will be commencing in September, but wanted to give prospective applicants some tips and wisdom. Having gone through the UK medicine application process twice, I am hopeful that hearing about my journey and struggles will give future applicants some perspective and hope!For any inquiries (including for UCAT, personal statement and interview tutoring) email: [email protected]

I sat down for the first virtually recorded episode of The Periodic Podcast. We discussed life as a mature law student and the medical school application process before delving into what it means to lead an "extraordinary ordinary" life.

I had the pleasure of sharing the microphone with Professor Ulrike Mayer. Out brief meeting covers her career and research journey, including some experience-derived wisdom.
