Considerations

As I continue to prepare for my two upcoming interviews, whilst keeping tabs with the funness of the IB, I've recently begun to reflect on how far I have ventured into my journey towards what really is an audacious ambition of mine: being a doctor.

A major component of that has been relishing the potential great deal of fulfillment that I'll get through working with and creating a positive difference in patients in a career in medicine, but also considering what I'd actually like to specialize in.

As such, I've decided that I'd like to become a Psychiatrist or Neurologist. To be honest, from day one, when I first considered a career in Medicine, this was my the career path that initially appealed to me. I love the brain.

Interview at Birmingham!

Hey, it's been a while, but just to report that I've heard back from Birmingham with an invite for interview! It was a complete compete shock, and I heard back whilst on my holiday in France this half-term. Email came on 29th October, titled "Invitation for Medicine Interview". I went crazy! I had a mock interview today which greatly helped me to prepare, and have another on November 14th. Now I am absolutely determined to achieve an offer for Medicine!

I've booked it for December 3rd and you'll be first to know how it goes. Fingers crossed.

I'll be sure to post up some interview tips as well :)
