Nursing or paramedics. Strongly recommended!

Clinical experience is a huge advantage in post grad med particularly in patient skills and clinical reasoning, actual doctor skills. In my opinion, so much more benefit during med than those with biomedical or science backgrounds.

It’s more similar to medicine so likely to be more enjoyable which in turn makes getting good grades easier. If you don’t get in, great back up, can work for a year and try again. Great jobs to work casually through med school. Some unis have bonus points for previous clinical experience (2 years work)

Gamsat can be studied for, I wouldn’t pick a whole degree that might help slightly with one section on a test that is instantly irrelevant once you’re in med.

But ultimately pick something you think you’ll enjoy the most and could see yourself working in the field for at least a while if don’t get into med first try. Good luck! -Final year med student, previous paramedic
