Life at Medical School

#AskAMedStudent: What are Manchester’s views on part time jobs? Do you think it’s worth getting one?

Life at Medical School

#AskAMedStudent: Do you have to be bare below the elbow at any point for the first 2 years of med school at Manchester, and also, do you have to make sure that your hijab doesn’t drape a lot?

Life at Medical School

#AskAMedStudent: Aside from the lab sessions, are you exposed to research (getting to publish scientific articles)?

Life at Medical School

#AskAMedStudent: How do you balance studying for medical school and your extracurriculars? Is there time for doing extracurriculars or joining societies?

Life at Medical School

#AskAMedStudent: I want to study medicine but I have a history of struggle with mental health. Do you think that medicine is just too stressful for some people, or will I be able to balance it? I’m worried if it takes over my life I will struggle mentally

Life at Medical School

#AskAMedStudent: I’m currently in year 12 and I think I would like to do medicine, but I also really want to enjoy my uni experience, as a medical student, do you think you go out enough or have enough time to wind down and chill with friends?

Life at Medical School

#AskAMedStudent: Since you go to a clinical setting in around year 3, do you feel like you have enough information and a good grasp of everything before going, or do you guys get lectures and learn along the way?

Short weekend Dubai trip over and back now in Abu Dhabi now. I do prefer Abu Dhabi to live in but Dubai was a dream, especially this stunning view. 🏙 In our short stay we spent hours just looking out of this window - somehow this view was better than the view from the Burj Khalifa. Definitely going to miss it! 🥺
As you may know, I’m currently on my medical elective in Abu Dhabi. I should’ve probably made a post explaining what an elective is earlier, but better late than never. So let’s answer 2 of the commonly asked general elective questions.
Currently in Abu Dhabi, UAE for my elective. 🇦🇪 The hospital is stunning, literally looks like a fancy hotel over a public hospital. We’ve only been here 3 days but have already noticed so many differences to the approach to healthcare here compared to the UK. It seems like the healthcare system here is almost a perfect idealistic version of the NHS: completely free for citizens, yet very well funded and resourced with specialists coming from all areas of the globe to deliver care.
Just over two weeks and exams will be over which is absolutely mind boggling to me! I am nowhere near ready and motivation has been seriously lacking this semester. 😭
Eid Mubarak! 🌙 hope everyone has had a lovely day! ✨
Today’s the 7th day of Ramadan - hope the month is going well for everyone so far 🌙
Have you ever broken a bone? 🦴
#ad I know I talk about @Quizlet_UK quite a lot, but that’s because I use it a lot! Every week I put all the learning points from our TCD (Themed Case Discussion) cases into a question and answer format on to Quizlet and by the end of the week I have a complete study set on whatever the week’s cases were. ☺️
