When applying to study medicine, one of the most important and universal issues is the fear of not being offered a place. In this module, we will help you to map out possible alternatives. We will explore options that may get you onto alternatives routes into medicine or move into a career in a professional allied to medicine or even consider a completely different career path. Whatever you choose, it needs to be right one for you.
Every prospective medical student has a moment (or several) where they ask themselves, ‘what happens if I don’t get in?’. Often, applicants then dismiss this thought as they don’t want to be negative. But, consider this, you may even be asked in your interview, if you have thought about what you will do if you do not secure a place. This is important to admissions tutors in judging your commitment to healthcare.
