Answer 1

hi

im a med student at Imperial College London, and when i was looking for work experience i approached my school careers advisor. They pointed me in the right direction.

You have to be over 16, and have no criminal record to work. Also contact the local hospital, maybe the human resource dept for direct experience. go in the summer because thats when no med students are around, and people are more willing to give you a shot.

I did my work experience in St Mary's Paddington, in the radiology dept. It was crap but it looks good on your application to uni. Contact Marys, they might still be able to help you out

I also did some health care assistant work with some clinical exposure, taking peoples temperature and blood pressure in Central Middlesex Hospital London. CMH might be able to help you out too but its much harder to do it, and I remember the woman interviewing me, and gunning me down!

Answer 2

you should try getting some experience as a healthcare assistant in either hospital/nursing home or try your gp he may be able to let you go with one of his practice partners or may even be able to put you in touch with someone in the hospital, nowadays i have seen cadets in hospitals who are 16/17 years old so perservere, plus not everyone has experience before going into med school i was lucky in that i was a qualified nurse before doing medicine....some other advice med schools dont just want grade A* students you need interesting hobbies, or something else about you like you are involved in some charity work or your captain of the sports team or you enjoy mountain climbing and have scaled everest, it can bee anything but show that your an interesting person who is capable not only academically but socially aswell as the emphasis is on good communication with patients! i hope that helps a bit

Answer 3

Tried phoning up possible work placements? A phone call is harder to ignore than a letter. I know plenty of med students that have done work experience in hospitals, etc, but there again I know med students that didn't do any work experience before being accepted by the med schools.

The christian brothers agroculture school is opening new
med students, paid, with housing, near the filming area of
temptations in paradise the tv show. The application should
be prepared with two good accounts, one is decide what
field of medicine you can work within. They are general,
clinical, surgical, pharmaceutical, theoritician, family counsel,
and professional. Read up on the duties in these areas.
Then make a list of your strong hobbies that you can do for
work, it is hype that doctors make top paychecks. It is very
good to be able to make your own medicines by the books,
or pharmacy; your own hospital, your own truck, your own
tools, and instruments. It is very important to be within the
guidelines of learning new technique, promoted technique,
and quality clean applications. What about deciding what
you want to do while your in class students, maybe make up
what duties you can do as an intern. Write and contact these
principled types of sponsors, that is the peaceful, respectful
manner to ask for guidance.

Answer 5

That's going to be tough due to patient confidentiality rules.. Once you are a med student, you will see enough patients and probably get sick of them. Try volunteering in a nursing home or hospital..that would help too.
