Glasgow Medicine Applicants 2011

Yeah lol...there are quite a few.

Also, could you please explain this integrated core business to me.

On the first page of the booklet they have sent, they say there are three main components of the curriculum. The integrated core, SSC's and vocational studies.

Then on the second page they say that there are five main components of the curriculum. Core knowledge (years 1-3), vocational studies and clinical skills, years 4&5, SSC's and Electives....soooooo there is no mention of the integrated core this time round, but i'm guessing they have split it up into two further components -> core knowledge (year 1-3) and years 4&5. Is that right??

Also, would you say that the curriculum consists of 5 components rather than 3. The booklet is a bit confusing...

Sorry if that makes no sense

Okay. Stop worrying so much. I basically talked about what PBL is, pros and cons, why I like it, then mentioned plenaries and FRS and electives and SSCs.

By the 'integrated core' the mention the first time I think this probably encompasses core knowledge, clinical skills, years 4&5. But this is minute level detail, if they ask you what the key components of the course are then I'd mention all five. But please don't stress about it.

LOL thanks

I do go OTT sometimes

I'm already at Glasgow

When I had my interview though, they let me talk for quite a long time about the course.
.. probably why I got in, I had so much to say about 'why glasgow'!

GL for tomorrow. Uni will be empty as everyones left pretty much, but don't let it put you off. Sure you'll do well

I've already had it back on the 10th Dec. Thank you I hope to God it went well enough for an honur. It's beautiful.

Didn't stop you from getting two degrees though, and also a third I believe? I hope you get into Glasgow, best of luck
