Cambridge or Harvard ?

You can't actually study Medicine as an undergrad in the US. You can do a Pre-Med program where you'll study things like Chemistry and Biology, but you don't actually study "medicine" until you go to medical school as a graduate student.

As already pointed out twice

To be fair, I wouldn't want to wade through two pages of this abortion of a thread to check.

It was one page then...

If it's three now and his is at the top of it...

nah, oxford's clincal school is definately better, since the people do well at cambridge seem to go there preferentially
but I couldnt study anatomy without dissection, just wouldn't make sense - I think our pre-clinical is probably better since its so closely related to the Nat Sci deps

Hmm - I'm intrigued by what I've said that reinforces Helen's Cambridge decision too!

Grumbles about the frequency of exams in the 5th year, perhaps? But then the alternative is massive finals covering everything & a big deal Path exam in 5th year inspires me less than specialty ones... so swings & roundabouts?

Ah yes, though I think O&G was particularly hellish for me - other people got them in an easy week. As a bit of an aside, can see why it might be useful to have sign-offs though, some of our people who went abroad met an elective student from Nameless UK Medical School who had obviously done her O&G attachment & was now doing an elective in it - but hadn't even seen a birth yet?!, let alone delivered 4...

5th year is long - but there's floating leave you can take (I have 5 days coming up ) & then the specialties are dusted.

DGHs are variable - but that's probably the same everywhere. Some of my gripes would have been firm specific things about how my group 'chose' to organize & allocate the placements!
