Postgraduate medicine

Hi. I'm planning to get involved in either aspiring medics or future doc for postgraduate medicine. What would you guys recommend in terms of getting through the highly competitive medical and dentistry applications?

Decide which one you want to do - Dentistry or Medicine - and why.
Then get as much relevant in-person 'caring' experience as you can.
You don't need either of the set-ups you have mentioned to get a place.

As above. Decide which course you want to do now. They are very different courses and very different professions. Trying to apply to both tells interviewers you don't really know what you want to do. Your personal statement alone will be difficult to write, too.
