Medical Basics: Medicine Interview Notes
As a current medical student, I understand how daunting preparing for medical interviews can be. This study resource includes my own notes which I used to secure three Russel group medical school offers (and being winter-pooled at Cambridge). I have also updated these notes with the insights gained from my own interviews and experience assessing students during their medical interviews.
These high-yield study notes provide all the information and insider knowledge needed for aspiring medical students to excel in their interviews. The word document contains 8 pages of medical concepts and conditions notes, including:
• Common medical terms
• Common medical conditions
• Medical imaging: x-rays, CT scans, MRI scans and ultrasound scans.
