Hi guys,
I want to study Medicine at a Post-graduate level and was certain that studying Biomedical Science was the best route to take until recently.
I attended a science seminar a few days ago so I could get better knowledge of Biomedical Sciences, but during the seminar one of the lecturers started talking about Healthcare Sciences which seems so much more relevant to applying for Post-graduate Medicine!
From my understanding, Healthcare Science is very similar to Biomedical Science but it is instead funded by the NHS, registers the student with IBMS and HCPC boards and involves clinical placements during the summer holidays; is this correct?
To me is seems like the better option, and it seems a stupid question to ask considering all the above benefits, but would Healthcare Science be a better option to study to then apply for Post-grad Medicine or is Biomedical Science preferred?
I'll call around universities to find out, but I'd also like this communities opinion!
Thanks in future reference!
Michael
