Keep up competitive rowing whilst studying medicine?

I am still a few years away from uni but right now I row about 4 times per week at my local club and hope to progress further and compete at even higher levels. I intend to study medicine (hopefully at a good university) and was wondering whether it would be possible to stay on the competitive side of rowing (possibly even make the uni team) whilst taking on one of the most notoriously difficult and time consuming courses, especially if it is at one of the very competitive unis such as Cambridge, Durham or Edinburgh?
