Thanks for the video! I am quite interested in the Graduate route, however I have a non-science degree. Would be nice to have another video about the top up coruse to get in the degree

Very well explained. Thanks Dr Ezgi. Do you recommend GEM to someone who has a PhD in completely different field and is 40 years of age?

Hi, I’m just wondering how much volunteering work/work experience you had done before getting into GEM? I’ve worked in a hospital for a year because I’m a pharmacy graduate but wanted to get ~3-6 months volunteer experience in, along with some at a GP. Would this be sufficient? Thanks!

Do you know of any students who had young babies and/or had children whilst studying?

Is GEM also equivalent to the normal 5-6 years Undergrad MBBS degree? Is it accepted worldwide, especially in India - in case I plan to work here??
Do they mention it as grad entry medicine on our degree certificate?

How can an international student fund for grad-entry?

Hello! In grad entry medicine, the students would be directly placed in 3rd year or they would cover 1st and 2nd year subjects once they enter??

I have a question not really relating to the video. But I am starting GP training in August, i know you did obs and gynae and you're going to do psych? Just wondering if you have any recommendations on what you think would be the most useful placements for GP? :)
