Glasgow Medicine Applicants 2011

Had my interview in January, they haven't got back to me. Has everyone received a decision post interview?

I had my interview in January and haven't heard back yet either. I think they have only recently started giving out offers cause I was told at my interview I wouldn't hear from them until the end of March when they had interviewed everyone.

Hopefully you should hear soon though Good luck. I hope it's good news for you.

anyone with an offer not going to the applicant day?

I'm not actually sure I'll be able to... tuesday's just a bit of an awkward day to make a 5-6hr road trip =/ but at the same time I reallly wana check out the accommodation, etc.

strangely moodless

not sure, grade's not good enough to try again, erm something between FA, suicide, full time criminal, dunno, defo going to uni this yr, might try postgrad i don't know. Think I'm about to go thru several emotions, not sure which to start with. Lol, but it sucks how I've helped people in college who all got in, tho it's been my dream since i was 8. Not to say i deserve it but you know, it's one of those things you know you're genuinely born to be. Shows life doesn't go to plan. I came out of the interview literally smiling. Yea think I'll start with pity, lol. Mental state is so ****ed

So sorry. Hope youre okay. message me if you need to rant/whatever.

Changes to the curriculum

We know there have been a lot of rumours going around all years about if changes are going to happen and what they are. Yes there are going to be some changes that will affect our year group from year 3 onwards. It’s important to stress that all changes are only currently PROPOSED changes and not yet set in stone!
The actual document outlining the proposed changes is 30 pages long but I’ve tried to summarise the main points that will affect us.

Phase 3
• This replaces year 3 of the current curriculum
• Daily bedside clinical teaching during 4 five week blocks
• There will be a list of clinical training targets, clinical signs and clinical cases to be achieved and recorded
• There will be a research SSC as part of which you will be expected to write a 3000 word dissertation
• Core topics are covered by lectures, FRS, tutorial sessions and online learning
• Clincial application is covered in clinical PBL sessions and clinico-pathological conferences (CPC)
• One PBL/CPC session a week
• Clinical exam and MCQ formative assessment at the end of each block
• Summative assessment: MCQ, short essays and OSCE at the end of the year

Phase 4
• This is currently years 4 and 5
• Blocks will be longer than they currently are
• Learning objectives will be detailed in “study guides”
• There will be a series of update, revision and advanced lectures
• Summative assessments will occur at the end of each block
• A mock final written paper will be offered in block 8 of year 4
• OSCE stations will be reduced from 50 to 30

Anyone going to applicants day say HEY, I will be there

I'm not actually sure I'll be able to... tuesday's just a bit of an awkward day to make a 5-6hr road trip =/ but at the same time I reallly wana check out the accommodation, etc.
