Professional Growth Experience & Reflection

Reflection is a process of analysing an experience and evaluating one’s actions during the event or considering the effect the event may have had on the individual. It is critical in improving medical practice as it enables clinicians to learn from mistakes, advance their skills and assess their personal wellbeing. Since reflection enables improvement, it is an integral feature of lifelong learning, a key component of a career in Medicine. It also improves the ‘quality of care for patients’ (MDU 2022) and in this way can aid the doctor-patient relationship. Without reflection, mistakes may reoccur or ‘remain disjointed and worthless’ (Artioli 2021) since changes to improve systems will not be implemented.

Following in that vein (pardon the pun!), here’s five of my ‘rules’ for surviving and thriving in your first term of uni!

Who Wants To Be A Medical Student?

Applying to medical school can sometimes feel like starring on the game show “Who wants to be a Millionaire”. The suspense as you feel the eyes of onlookers in the crowds; your parents, your teachers, your siblings and friends. Your palms begin to perspire as the Game Show host, or in this case, the medical admissions team stare into your eyes. They ask you question after question, the stakes slowly getting greater until you hit the million-pound question. The final barrier. One more step and you’ve done it. Hit the jackpot, and reached your goal. You’d be a millionaire, a medic.

Medical Reapplication: A Non-Standard Entry Into Medicine

My journey into medical school was…quite out of the ordinary. From 4 unsuccessful med applications, to applying for biomedical science through clearing and finally securing a place at Anglia Ruskin’s medical school, I’m genuinely impressed by how far I’ve come, regardless of the hurdles thrown my way. I know plenty of you are in a similar situation and can understand and relate to my stress. Therefore, I hope sharing my journey will uplift your morale and bolster your confidence with your medical application process, as well as steering clear of the pitfalls I encountered.

The Journey to Medical School: How to Avoid Getting Overwhelmed and Excel in Your Application.

Firstly, you should be so proud of yourself that you’re applying to medicine. While the process will be tough, require lots of resilience and determination, the reward of becoming a doctor will be worth it in the end. But I know what you’re thinking: “Medicine seems so hard to get into, there’s so much to do (and the UCAT is the strangest exam I’ve ever seen)”. Those were my thoughts too, and I was so overwhelmed at the beginning – it really can make our brains frazzle sometimes. But let’s break this down into chunks. This is how I aced my journey to medical school.

How to Successfully Reapply to Medical School: Learn From My Journey of Overcoming Rejection

The next few months were when I began to doubt myself gain. I was disappointed when I received rejections from the schools I applied to. However, seeing my friends going to university brought back these feelings. I felt frustrated that I had worked hard throughout the year and was still unsuccessful in securing a place at medical school. Shifting my focus to concentrating on my plans for the future has allowed me to become more confident in myself. I was able to reflect on my previous application in order to submit a stronger one and was able to make the most of my gap year.
