St George's Medicine Applicants 2015

Amazing stats! Have you got an interview? If not, I'm sure you will with your academics!

Did they mean you will hear about interview in Feb/March or your interview will be scheduled then?

No I haven't gotten an interview yet hoping one will come through soon but from the earlier posts I guess I have to wait till at least February/March

Thank you though

What are your stats??

Does anyone know if SGUL use cadaveric dissection?? Can't find it on their website...

You learn from Cadavers in the 'dissection room' but they're already prosected.

They do however run a summer dissection programme where you can learn to dissect...

MMI's are bliss Because you can mess up in one station but still pull it back in the others, plus most of interviewers know nothing about your grades or PS so that allows everyone to be judged fairly.

These competences?

Academic ability and intellect
Empathy
Initiative and resilience
Communication skills
Organisation and problem solving
Team work
Insight and integrity
Effective learning style

Hmmmm they assessed most of them informally, in the sense that they didn't have a specific station for most of them. For example communication skills is tested in every single station but on the other hand Empathy does have it's own station (Role play).

I just wrote this long email about the interview and prep, I'll PM you that and anyone else who wants it.

Could I also get a pm !! Thank you

Are all interviews given out before December?

Well I don't really have much experience with PBL (I've only been here 8 weeks :P). CBL is basically were you get a case which is spread over a few pages. The tutor gives you the first sheet and you discuss it with your group, explaining terms and if there's something that you guys don't know, you make that a learning objective. Then the next sheet is given out and you do the same thing, the next sheet usually tells you what happened to the patient next. Then after the session before the next one you have to find the answers for the learning objectives. Then you come back a next later and spend half the CBL session reviewing the answers you got. Then you start a new case.

I think in PBL you don't just focus on cases every week but medical problems. Although I'm not entirely sure. You might want to ask someone in the higher years. Sorry!!

PROBLEM based learning, you get questions that you need to research and fine the answers for. This was one of our first DSL's! (the body fluids on with the lecturer who kept on reminding us he was a kidney Dr).

nope last year I didn't hear until febuary about my interview which was then in March. Funnily enough the train tickets from it fell out of my pocket the other day.
