medicine holiday workload

I was lazy and didnt do anything =

Awww...


*brings out the world's smallest violin

I've had write ups etc to do, so have had 3 days off this holiday [out of 2 weeks], one of which was my Birthday, and one the day after recovering!

we had 5 weeks off!

hey, i am just wondering how much work has to be done in the holiday, because i currently am working at in a supermarket and they say i can come back in the hols and do 9-5 there.its £5 an hour so would be a good way to recoup monetary losses.how much work is there to do in the hols generally.will i have time to work or not??
thanks in advance

Generally I think you'd get pretty good hols in the first few years, and then nothing during your clinical years. .

Year 5, we get 2 weeks at Christmas, 2 weeks at Easter and then graduate

Elective won't cut that last easter holiday?

Depends on where you go. At BL, we have shorter Chrsitmas and Easter breaks as compared to other schools, but we get protected holidays during clinical years...

Year 1, we get 2 weeks at Christmas, 2 weeks at Easter and 12 weeks at Summer;
Year 2, we get 2 weeks at Christmas, 2 weeks at Easter and 9 weeks at Summer;
Year 3, we get 2 weeks at Christmas, 2 weeks at Easter and 6 weeks at Summer;
Year 4, we get 2 weeks at Christmas, 2 weeks at Easter and 5 weeks at Summer; and
Year 5, we get 2 weeks at Christmas, 2 weeks at Easter and then graduate

Generally I think you'd get pretty good hols in the first few years, and then nothing during your clinical years. Therefore it's prob good to work and get some money in when you can, cos when you progress through med the chance of working is pretty small. On the other hand lots of people tend to go travelling etc because there's limited opportuntity when you're a bit older .
