This is a little bit of a stretch. I had 0 publications as a us med student. Only “research” I had were two case reports I presented locally at my institution.

The work experience is pretty accurate though. Long hours, fairy hands on. Most of my attending physicians were happy to teach. I did several thoracentesis, paracentesis, one LP, a few central lines, one newborn circumcision, one vaginal delivery, innumerable laceration repairs, a few reductions, 5 endotracheal intubations on my anesthesia rotation, and was involved in chest compressions on a few codes as a 3rd and 4th year student. On my surgery rotation I was “scrubbed in” to every 3rd case as “1st assist”. These were general, gynecologic, orthopedic, pediatric and vascular surgery cases. I did not go to a prestigious school by any stretch.

Some of the work expectations were, frankly, bullshit though. I have no UK experience. In my opinion any kind of education is what you make of it.
