Group Sessions

There will be eight small group sessions in total over the course of the day. We have found that a mixture of "dry & wet" sessions makes the day enjoyable, memorable and beneficial in terms of strengthening your application.

  • Qualities of a Doctor
  • Ethics in medicine
  • UCAS Session
  • Clinical Skills ( e.g. venepuncture, suturing, auscultation)
  • Radiology
  • ECG
  • Anatomy / Pathology
  • First-aid

Although most, if not all, of the aspects of the M&D Experience are relevant to both medicine and dentistry, there are usually some practical seminars which discuss dentistry is more detail, this may include:

  • Dental X-ray analysis
  • Structure and anatomy of the mouth using models
  • Ethical issues in dentistry
  • Life as a dentist in the community, general practice and hospital
  • Different specialisations in dentistry
 

Many UK medical schools and dental schools receive many applications to study medicine or study dentistry and places are very limited. Therefore, the preparation of a UCAS application form for medical or dental school is very important. Online Medical Admission forums are an excellent way to exchange views and ideas on what medical schools are looking for and which medical and which dental schools actually ask the toughest interview questions. The premed course is an excellent way to secure a place at a UK medical schools in the UK or medical schools based abroad. Medical and dental school applicants are strongly advised to get as much medical work experience and possible. Medical work experience seminars and dental work experience seminars consist of a series of medical seminars and dental seminars at a NHS hospital based in Britain. Many students also fine that UKCAT revision and UCAS Personal statement checking is very helpful.
Fierce competition for UK medical school places has encouraged students to embark on medical degrees and dental degrees outside of the UK, such as: Medical schools in Poland, Medical schools in Slovakia, Dental schools in Slovakia, Medical schools in Prague, Dental schools in Prague and Medical schools in the Caribbean.
