Question about graduate medicine?

Hey, I'm 19 and I plan to do much undergrad and biochemistry and go on to study medicine as a graduate.

1. Is possible for me to defer my entry into medicine (I'll like to work in order to pay the 9K up front)?
2. My A-level grades aren't the best so if i decide to apply to some undergraduate medicine courses as well as graduate courses, will they look at my A-level grades?
3. Do all graduate entry courses base emphasis on the UKCAT score?
4. Which medicine schools base little/no emphasis on the UKCAT?
5. I'd like to apply to a few medical schools in Grenada/US, is it possible? What are the downsides to this?

Thank you

Have a read through this wiki page for a brief outline which should answer most of your questions.

1. Is possible for me to defer my entry into medicine (I'll like to work in order to pay the 9K up front)? Yes?
2. My A-level grades aren't the best so if i decide to apply to some undergraduate medicine courses as well as graduate courses, will they look at my A-level grades? You mean after the biochem degree or now?
3. Do all graduate entry courses base emphasis on the UKCAT score? Some of them
4. Which medicine schools base little/no emphasis on the UKCAT? Not sure for graduate coures
5. I'd like to apply to a few medical schools in Grenada/US, is it possible? What are the downsides to this? Super expensive and can't get student loan from SLC

Thank you

thanks after the biochem degree.

What's your thoughts on studying medicine abroad?

I think it depends on the med school. To be sure, the best thing to do is double check by emailing the admissions department.

Medicine abroad:

1. Where do you want to practice? e.g. You may find it more difficult to practice in the UK if your med degree is from outside the UK. If you want to practice in the US, having a US med degree will make your life easier

2. It is often (but not always) very expensive, especially USA. Some med schools in the EU are reasonably priced (by reasonably, in comparison with the UK).

3. Language. If English is your only language, some unis in Holland do medicine in English. There are some v prestigious med schools in Europe (e.g. Germany, Italy, Spain) but many will require you to speak the language

3. Some countries require an undergrad degree for med school entry

4. What is your motivation for studying medicine abroad? I'm sure it can be done, but what advantages do you think it will give you?

Also - in the UK it is much harder to get into postgraduate medicine than it is to get in post A Level. I think the majority of sensible people on this forum would advise you to try post A Level med before postgrad med.

Do you have special circumstances for your poor A Levels? Could you document these and just redo your A Levels?

If I want to study medicine in Europe how hard will it be able to practice in the UK?
