Pre Med Biology advice

Hello there, I ve got a deferred entry place for Medicine.
I however did not take Biology in A level.

Is there any advice from current med students on certain biology topics to learn to become better suited for Medicine?

If A-level Biology wasn't required by your uni (which since you have a deferred offer it presumably wasn't - and congratulations!) then the course should cover everything you need to know from A-level Biology from scratch.

I think probably don't worry about it that much then and just enjoy the time before you start

Thanks for the reassurance.
I have heard many people saying they struggle with cell pathology and another human biology-related topic, the foundation of which is learned at A-level biology.

If you don't mind, are you currently a med student?

No I am not, but the principle of "if they don't require you to have studied that topic at A-level for the degree they won't assume that knowledge" applies to all degrees. If they didn't think students would be able to learn the material without A-level Biology, they wouldn't accept students without A-level Biology.

Also my impression is at degree level (across various degrees) in biological topics a lot of A-level topics are revisited and you are basically retaught them because basically you just learn a simplified version in A-level and learn the more accurate and detailed version at degree level. I suspect also a lot of the medical degree content will be quite different from the material in A-level Biology anyway, at least past the first couple years when you do more clinical things.

I understand medical students by nature are overachievers constantly trying to prove they are good enough to themselves and everyone else, but you do need to at a certain level accept that you've overcome more or less the biggest barrier to entry for medicine already (actually getting a place on the degree). Medical degrees themselves have extremely low fail out/drop out rates for students - much lower than most other degrees. Not having the background of A-level Biology for a course that doesn't require it is not realistically going to be the single factor to make you be one of those couple of % of students who don't complete the degree!

No worries, I truly appreciate your time.

Wishing you a prosperous future ahead.
