Dr Kate Lovett
Dean of the Royal College of Psychiatry"This highly readable book debunks some of the myths associated with successful application to medical school and will be of benefit to applicants, careers advisors and teachers. Painstakingly researched using personal testimonies from current medical students this book succeeds in demystifying the application process. Widening participation remains one of the big challenges in Medicine today. This book demystifies the application process and gives welcome encouragement to all contemplating applying to UK Medical schools."
Prof. Peter Abrahams MBBS FRCS(ED) FRCR DO(Hon) FHEA
Prof. Emeritus of Clinical Anatomy, University of Warwick"This book comes from the experience of the nightmare that many young students face trying to become doctors. I wish there had been such a useful and easily accessible guide when I decided medicine was for me! I can see it will be an invaluable tool to hold the hand of any prospective medical student and guide them along the first path towards becoming a medical practitioner."
