Media Influence
Many ‘would be’ medical or dental students are influenced by the medias’ portrayal of doctors.
Popular programmes such as Holby City, ER, Casualty and Scrubs, etc, may have initiated your interest in medicine or dentistry but is very important that you also have a realistic idea before apply for medicine or dentistry via UCAS.
After a lot of hard work and effort to secure a place, about 10-15% of students still drop out of medical or dental school – so do your homework, before you apply.
