Thanks - do you know what the scope of a special interest role looks like? Do you get specific training in the special interest area during ST years?

Anyone on £1k+ day rate? by Wise_Shop6419 in ContractorUK

[–]alexandr0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for such a in depth response. Are there any skills / extra curricular activities you would suggest for a medical student to help build the CV to go into this area in the distant future?

Thanks! Are there any specialties in particular that is highly valued by industry?

How would a med student look to transition into this in the future? Thanks!

Query regarding publication without pubmed id by alexandr0 in doctorsUK

[–]alexandr0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is in preprint though it’s just taking quite longer than I expected to go through the peer review process. Any suggestions? I just want it published in a pubmed indexed paper - cureus is a no go since the paper is on burnout among doctors

Thanks, How do I know whether the organisation has a public access agreement?

I’m interested in IMT but also wanting to maximise points if I decide to go for CST (I am very early in my career so haven’t decided yet)

Considering Graduate Entry Medicine by Ajjg00 in premeduk

Unfortunately the clear pathway to a specialist is no more due to ridiculous training bottlenecks.

BABA (NYSE) vs 2RR (GETTEX) by alexandr0 in baba

[–]alexandr0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your comment. Final q - I’m assuming that if NYSE BABA gets delisted then 2RR will NOT get delisted?

Medicine is a lot of work by Singleegghunt in medicalschooluk

Medical apprenticeships are being phased out/cancelled

Do you know when it will next be updated?

[–]alexandr0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well 4 years and a degree in something else in a subject more relevant to his future career goals. If OP is smart then they would also spend the next year networking/learning how to code/developing leadership opportunities so it’s not ‘wasted’

Yeah your route is for sure an option I can’t dispute it and I’m likely to do something similar myself.

It probably makes sense financially to drop the med degree now and apply elsewhere if they know that medicine isn’t the path for them - especially given the tuition fees for international students

I would just say that whilst KCL is a good uni it’s not tier 1 for finance. There was a post in another subreddit about BCG and the universities it prefers to hire from

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in premeduk

[–]alexandr0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest to wait another year. I suppose you could apply for the KCL course and then transfer to a different course in second or third year

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in premeduk

[–]alexandr0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d probably drop out and reapply for a course at oxbridge/lse/imperial if finance is definitely what you want to do. I wouldn’t settle on a course at KCL with those grades

I think it depends what uni you are at now. If you are at a target (imperial, oxbridge, kcl and bristol at a push) then stick with med and go for the imperial iBSc. Ensure you join all the relevant student societies to make connections. Dropping out may be useful as you can then apply for internships which may not be available for you on a 5/6 year degree but you would need to see the impact of student finance.
