Hello everyone and welcome to Episode 15!

My guest this week is Leah aka @wellnessmedic. Leah is such a lovely person to chat with! She is a Sheffield Medical Student and also a Mental Health Campaigner and Content Creator.

In this episode Leah shares her journey to Medical School and her experience with Widening Access programmes, highlighting why these are so vital for inclusion in our Medical Schools. Leah also shares how she started struggling with her mental health and how she bravely sought help. Leah decided to put her mental health first and took a year out of medical school to get better and also get to know herself better- and I am so glad she shares this experience! Taking care of your mental health is SO IMPORTANT, in fact it should absolutely come first. I am so glad we have people like Leah sharing about their stories to help others who may be struggling and feel like they are alone facing these feelings.

Remember that if you are struggling you are not alone and there are many people out there to help you.

Mental Health charities that support students include: Student Minds (www.studentminds.org.uk) Student Space (https://studentspace.org.uk ) and Samaritans (www.samaritans.org)

Reaching out for help at university: your personal tutor, your welfare advisor, your head of year or any member of faculty that you trust and feel comfortable opening up to- they will point you in the best direction for support.

Please also seek help from your GP, they are there for you.

Today I am excited to be joined by Abdullah, a Medical Student as well as a newsletter, E-book and blog writer. Abdullah is also as @moretoamedic (a great name right!?!!) on Instagram so of course I had to interview him on the podcast!

It’s a great chat with Abdullah as we discuss how he developed and nurtured his interests outside of medicine during his gap year and at medical school. He tells us how he started sharing his writing first with a newsletter before developing this further into blogs, his own website, social media and so many successful outlets. To this day Abdullah has written two E-books and blog articles for huge pages like @scrubbedin and @freshlygrounded. He writes about medicine and applications to medical school but also so much more than that including productivity, spirituality and causes that are important to him in the current world issues.

Commencer l’internat. C’est un saut dans l’inconnu, quelque chose que l’on attend depuis si longtemps, tellement différent des études, l’accomplissement de tant d’effort, terrifiant, excitant... tout cela à la fois! C’est vraiment un grand changement de vie et de travail, et un grand chamboulement pour tous les étudiants en médecine. J’ai déjà fait un épisode sur le Podcast sur mon experience des début de l’internat, mais je travaille au Royaume-Uni donc je voulais vous apporter à tous un point de vue différent et centré sur l’internat en France plus spécifiquement.

Dans cette épisode donc je reçois Cécé, @minie.doc sur Instagram, Interne de Médecine Générale en Deuxième Année. Elle est là pour nous partager son experience, les hauts et les bas, et surtout des conseils pour tous les néo-internes. Bravo at vous et bon courage pour votre premier poste.

Welcome to this new episode of More Than Medical Students!

Today I am excited to be joined by Delia, Delia is a first year medical student and a LGBTQIA+ advocate and activist. This is such a great episode where we discuss really important topics such as discrimination and health inequalities towards members of the LGBTQIA+ community and our lack of teaching and training around this at Medical School.

Delia shares with us her story of finding their own identity and belonging to the LGBTQIA+ community and their decision to study medicine and strive to improve the medical space for patients of her community. Before Med School Delia also undertook research in transgender patients with cancer and their lived experiences. They also founded an impactful society in their college to help improve the LGBTQ students accessing healthcare on the college campus and they share tips with us on how to start an impactful project locally.

Delia is now an advocate and activist both on social media and formal policy advocacy on a wider level and I really admire their work.

We also discussed Delia’s experience of studying sociology and how that understanding helps understand healthcare and the individual’s experience of healthcare, which I personally found so interesting as well.

In this first episode we will discuss Wale’s experience of intercalating in the management degree at Imperial College. Why did he choose to intercalate? What was the programme like? What was his experience with completing his management thesis? What are his tips for thriving in your non-science based intercalated Bsc? We discuss all these and more in this episode.

Hello everyone, welcome to Episode 4. In this episode I am joined by Emma aka @medical.dilemma, who is a final year medical student who I was lucky to meet on Instagram and get to know her.

Our conversation explores a few different topics especially focusing on Emma’s intercalated degree, which is an extra degree that medical students can do while taking a year out in the middle of medical school. Emma has done an intercalated Masters in Medical Ethics and Law, which I was very keen to find out more about. I found it amazing to hear about all the different skills and knowledge that Emma gained from this year, which are so different from all the scientific and clinical knowledge we gain at medical school and will be a great addition to her in her future career. This episode was a real reminder for me that studying or researching whatever topic can really enrich a person in so many ways!

We also chat about working as an HCA (healthcare assistant) before medical school and what that can bring to you, as well as mental health at medical school and finding a balance.

Leave a comment to tell us how you find the episode! Let us know if you have done an intercalated degree and how you found it!

Hello everyone and welcome to Episode 14!

My guest this episode is Rivkie, from @Rivkiestein. Rivkie has just graduated from Medical School in the USA and is starting as a Resident very soon in Ney York! Medical school is a really busy busy time I’m sure you all know but Rivkie shows us in this episode that you can be a medical student as well as a daughter, partner and mother. In fact relationships around us are SO VITAL at medical school! 

We have so many things to chat about with Rivkie starting with Rivkie’s journey of becoming a Mom during medical school, which is an incredible journey that I absolutely lover hearing about. We also chat about relationships at medical school and having both you and your partner in the same demanding course and how to manage that. Importantly we discuss couple matching which is what US medical students can do to obtain a residency post in the same area as their partner.

Please note the episode discusses diagnosis and treatment of cancer in the second half of the episode.

Rivkie is also a newly published author of a book called “Secrets are no fun” which she is excited to share with us in this episode. This book is suitable for children and adults and recounts Rivkie’s experience as a child whose mother developed cancer. It is so important to talk about what it’s like to have a loved one with cancer and how tough that can be, especially as a child.  I was so touched to hear about her story and I hope you guys will be able to check out the book to find out more. Hearing about the publishing process for her book was also such an interesting part of the episode. If you are a medical student interested in publishing a book- we’ve got some tips for you!

Today I am excited to be joined by Priya Gopaldas former Love Island candidate who was on Britain's most famous reality TV show when she was a Medical Student! I am so excited to welcome a TV personality on the podcast!

Priya is a perfect for this podcast as she shows us so beautifully that you can be a Medical Student and develop passions and projects on the side of Medical School. Back when Priya was on Love Island I remember being so excited that a Medical Student was on the show, for the first time in the show's history. In this episode we discuss Priya’s journey from applying to Love Island and being selected and then her experience of the show and being on TV. We discuss how her life has been, balancing Medical School and her career in Media and Social Media.

Hello everyone and welcome to Episode 13

Guys, get ready! This is a GREAT episode! So action packed with info and tips and such a fun one to listen to as well!

My guest this episode is Jess, from @Jess.olo.

Jess is a Medical Student from King’s College London and also a researcher holding a Masters of Research from Cambridge and several publications. Jess is also the author of 3 e-books and an active blog where she shares really valuable content for med students and med school applicants. With all these achievements you can understand why I was really delighted to have Jess on the podcast to hear everything about her journey and her work!

We start by discussing her journey into medicine and subsequently into research, including discussing how to bounce back from unsuccessful attempts and make yourself the best candidate. Jess tells us the details of her intercalated Master’s year at Cambridge, from designing a project to submitting the final dissertation, and ALL the learning along the way! This will definitely help all medics that are thinking of intercalating or getting involved in research. What I love about Jess is her willingness to go get the information herself and get the info out there for others as well-sharing really is caring! Finally we discuss how to building a business, working on marketing and sales and tips on having a side hustle and passive income as a medic- really harnessing your full potential!

Get ready to take notes! So much to learn from this one!

Dans cette épisode je reçois Mélanie, @frommidwiferytomedicine sur Instagram, une étudiante en médecine que j’adore suivre sur les réseaux. Elle a un parcours très intéressant car comme son nom de compte l’indique elle a commencé par faire des études de sage-femme puis a fait une passerelle pour rejoindre les études de médecine- un parcours super inspirant !

Dans cet épisode nous parlons des études de sage-femme et des études de médecine et c’est tellement intéressant d’explorer les différences entre les deux venant d’une personne qui a vécu les deux cotés elle-même ! Ceci nous mène sur une discussion super intéressante sur les professions de médecin Obstétricien et de sage-femme mais aussi de celui de médecine généraliste- une discussion vraiment passionnante ! On parle aussi de la passerelle et des conseils pour ceux qui pensent à s’engager dans ce chemin.

Dans cet épisode je reçois Elsa, @babydoc_e sur Instagram, une étudiante en médecine en dernière année qui est là pour aborder pleins de sujets qui touchent à la vie d’étudiant en médecine avec nous.

Il y aura deux épisodes avec Elsa, dans ce premier épisode nous allons parler des sujets de santé mentale en médecine, notamment la difficulté de la première année et des stages d’externat. Elsa nous parle de façon très ouverte sur ce sujet que je trouve TRES important. On parle peu de cela en médecine en fin de compte : prendre soin de NOUS et de notre santé mentale. Que ce soit auprès de votre médecin généraliste, psychologue ou votre faculté n’hésitez pas a demander de l’aide si ça ne va pas en ce moment. Si jamais vous ou quelqu’un que vous connaissez souffre et se sent seul dans cette situation sachez que vous n’êtes pas seuls et que demander de l’aide est la chose la plus importante a faire ! Prenez soin de vous ! Nous parlons également de jobs étudiant et d’équilibre en médecine a travers les années entre les cours, stages et vie perso. Merci a Elsa de partager avec nous ces précieux conseils.

Dans le prochain épisode nous parlerons avec Elsa de la réforme des ECN, Elsa fait partie de la première promo a être affectée par le réforme et elle nous en parle dans l’épisode prochain, un autre épisode a ne pas manquer.

Hello everyone, welcome to Episode 2, the first episode with a guest in English! In this episode I was joined by Risata Kufuor, who is a final year medical student at Imperial. 

On the side of this she is a rapper and has written, recorded and published her own music professionally. She is also a content creator on YouTube and TikTok. We had a super interesting conversation about all her projects: how she started, her inspiration for her creativity and how she is balancing everything with medical school. We discussed some tips for those out there who are thinking of starting such a creative project but who might be unsure of themselves or how to start. I found it lovely to be chatting about all things music in this episode which is something I don't often have the chance to do and I loved exploring all this creativity. Whether you're a music expert or just a casual listener I guarantee you will enjoy our conversation!

Plus que des étudiants en médecine- Episode 8

Bonjour les amis et bienvenue dans ce nouvel épisode. 

Dans l’épisode d’aujourd’hui vous allez découvrir ma conversation avec Aurore du compte @pouruneviesansmuco, et c’est une conversation vraiment passionnante! Aurore est une étudiante en médecine qui vient de terminer sa 6eme année et va commencer son internat très bientôt. En plus de cela Aurore vit avec une maladie chronique, la mucoviscidose. Dans cette épisode elle nous partage son parcours, avec ses difficultés et ses réussites. Nous discutons de comment approcher et gérer les stages, les adaptations qui sont possibles quand on a une maladie chronique ou un handicap et comment se detacher des injonctions des autres. Nous parlons aussi d’un sujet aue je trouve super important qui est le fait d’avoir des doutes pendant ses études de médecine, et ça fait di bien d’en parler! *

J’ai vraiment apprécié cette discussion et la gentillesse et la sincérité d’Aurore, et je pense que vous aller apprécier l’écouter! Si c’est le cas vous pouvez nous le faire savoir en laissant un avis sur votre plateforme de podcast et en partageant autour de vous avec des gens qui pourraient être intéressés.

Episode 9:

Hello everyone and welcome to this new episode of the podcast! Is it possible to be a med student and start-up founder? Yes it is! In this episode I am delighted to be joined by Christopher Law who is a newly qualified Doctor and who also co-founded a health tech start-up while at med school! Tune in to hear about his founding journey and what’s it’s like to work in health tech. We also discuss Chris’s intercalated Bsc in Bio-engineering and how this has helped him develop his interests outside of the MBBS degree.

This is the first episode guys! Just thought I would start with a solo episode to introduce myself so you can all get to know me better!!

Going to be chatting about so many things from my journey into med school and my gap year (I know many of you are curious about this!) to my research Bsc and my specialty interests for the future. I will also chat about why I created my Instagram page, how it has been developing and finally why I created this podcast.

I would love to get to know you as well so please leave a comment or send me a message introducing yourself too!

Welcome to this new episode of More Than Medical Students!

Today I am delighted to be joined by Imogen from @imydoesmed, who is a final year Medical Student from Cambridge.

The university of Cambridge is one of the most famous and highly ranked university in the UK and in the world and its med school has an amazing reputation for clinical med and research, which is why I was so excited to be able to interview Imy and get all the insights from her experience in the past 6 years. We discuss Imy’s experience of pre-clinical and then clinical years at Cambridge and also her BSc which she chose to pursue in the field of psychology.

What is it like to study in one of the top med schools in the world? How is the medical degree structured?  What is it like studying a BSc in psychology as opposed to a more classic biomed one? All of this and more in today’s episode!

In part two (coming soon!) we will be discussing Imogen’s projects outside of med school as Trustee of a mental health charity and other exciting projects.

Welcome to this new episode of More Than Medical Students!

In this podcast one of the things we love is celebrating Medical Students with different backgrounds and journeys and showcase the incredible diversity of our student community. Today, I am very excited to welcome Jen Reinmuth-Birch who is a 53 year old 3rd year Medical Student from the US. She is defying preconceptions about Med Students and age by starting Medical School at 50 years old- what an inspiration!

In this episode we explore Jen’s journey and experience as a non-traditional applicant and now student. She shares some brilliant tips for other non-traditional applicants including interviews, personal statement and portfolio experiences. We also discuss Jen’s experience of balancing studying and personal life, as Jen has been able to thrive at Medical School and in her family life with her two twin sons and her lovely farm in Oregon. Jen shows us that non-traditional students can bring so much to the Medical Student and Doctor community: a different outlook, unique experience and innovative approaches for patients.

And in case anyone is still wandering about this: age does not matter and you’re not too old to follow your dreams!
