The Magic in 4000 Characters – the UK Medicine Personal Statement

When I see blood, I bring forth my compassion. Others fret or faint!

You know you are made for the noble profession of medicine when you can handle the sight of blood, genuinely love to learn about the human anatomy, and can manage long hours of routine work and people interaction without flinching or falling short of patience. You are sure you have all this, and more.

Now how do you convey this to the admissions committee at the medical school in the UK university of your choice?

The Medicine Personal Statement asks for 4000 characters (with spaces) or 47 lines of an essay from you to showcase your aptitude and leaning towards this field of study, your grit and determination to pass through and succeed through its extremely rigorous curriculum, your vision of what and why you will do at the end of your medical bachelor’s education, and what you have done till now to prepare yourself for undertaking the course.

It is actually easy to write this personal statement if you just keep the descriptions of all your activities brief and to the point. The main elements include, but are bigger and beyond than doctor shadowing, volunteering at medical facilities or care homes, reading the field related books and journals, doing online courses, building your team work, alertness, listening and empathetic abilities with meaningful activities; and lastly gathering information about the UK education system and why it is the one you are opting for.  

You also need to convince the university that you have the ability to thrive in constantly changing and challenging environment; embrace diversity and can take on the physically and mentally strenuous daily routines of a doctor’s profession. Just a statement telling that you are resilient and determined won’t make a mark, but sharing that you dealt patiently with a distraught ill child or cared for an ailing old person will. The essay needs to thus include real life instances and anecdotes that relate to how you first thought of this profession, how it developed into a firm career choice, and the ways you have helped yourself in preparation for your medical degree course.

Finally, it helps if you already have a vision for the future specialization, know about the current developments and innovations in the medical field, have taken an internship in a medical set up, and done projects, reading and research on the specialization of your choice.

  The Magic of Content: Business Growth through Written Communication In a constantly changing world of increased internet connectivity, fast paced work schedules and the shifting paradigms of people engagement, the one thing that has remained constant is the need for communication.

  The First Steps: Settling into your Overseas University You have packed your bags, taken the long haul flight and the bus ride to your university campus. You are excited and afraid at the same time. The huge campus of your foreign institution seems daunting, as do the unfamiliar faces and the languages you hear spoken but do not understand. Take heart. There are simple things you can do to transition safely into settling down. ·     1.  The first step that every student should do on arrival at   the campus is to meet with the student ambassadors, unless they are waiting on the gate to welcome the freshmen students. They are generally the senior students who have experienced their first years at college and can give you tips and insights for a safe and comfortable stay. ·     2.  A priority should be to register at the university international office if that is where all students are expected to report on arrival.

  Study Abroad and the Dichotomy of the Underprivileged Student: An Indian Perspective  Within the international mobility of students for study abroad, India contributes one of the largest number of students to overseas universities each year. Helping these students make informed choices is an equally large pool of study abroad agents and the staff from overseas universities for whom competing in an increasingly complex and dynamically changing Indian market place is both challenging, and necessary. In the recent years, the most nuanced terminology used by universities for their internationalization efforts and in their marketing and promotional activities are ‘inclusion and diversity’. The marketing messages of agents spell out high success rates for top admits, visa approvals and devising special counselling cells for the students aiming for Ivy Leagues and Oxbridge institutions. Yet do these inclusivity messages hold true for the entire pool of eligible and bright students, or
