Medicine at Lincoln, BMBS FullTime
Studying medicine has been a new experience and maybe not what I expected. I am still in love with medicine but that way it’s taught has been not so engaging. The topics are interesting but can sometimes feel repetitive in theory. I would’ve of loved for there to be more interactive and engaging practical sessions which reflected practicing medicine in later years. read more
