      Read up on healthcare regulatory law as there are BIG problems in regulation of Drs and other healthcare professionals. Regulatory lawyers without scruples will made unfounded allegations and they might be criminal as well as civil

    • @annarebecca
      @annarebecca  3 года назад +6

      Honestly the content really isn't that bad, I think its actually slightly easier than A level. The biggest problem is how much there is, its crazy! But the advantage of that is that if you work hard you'll be so fine. I'm very sure your really clever but even if your not, the smartest people aren't actually the ones that get top grades at medical school its the ones that work smart and are organised! So please don't be nervous 💛

    Hello, this is my last year of high school and I am going to study medicine in the United States but I live in the Dominican Republic, since you study, could you tell me the process to finally obtain a license to work as a doctor, how many years do I have to prep? medicine and how many years in a medical university and how many years does the residency last?

    If I don’t get the grades for medicine is it the end of the world? Is grad entry worth it

    • @annarebecca
      @annarebecca  3 года назад

      No of course not! Soooo many people don’t get the grades first time. Personally I would retake as grad entry is actually more competitive and takes a longer time. However, that really depends on you, both ways of getting into medicine are very different. Hope this helps but I’m sure your get your grades, good luck!!!

    Hi Anna ,
    There was something I wanted to know , it would be of great help of you could reply back .
    I am in the UK now going into sixthform , I have to pay international fees for medical school in birmingham since I am new here , do I have to pay the amount for two years together or year 1 alone and year 2 alone . Like it is mentioned that you pay £25,350-year 1 and year 2 .... does it mean I have to pay £ 25, 350 for both these years together or do I have to pay £25,350 for year 1 and then £25,350 for year 2 ?
