Medicine is a popular career choice and competition for places at medical school is very high.

This resource is produced annually to reflect any changes in medical education, including entry requirements, funding arrangements and career structure. It is designed to help those who are considering a career in medicine.

Whilst it raises some of the issues that potential medical students should consider, the main purpose of the resource is to answer commonly asked questions about becoming a doctor and provide relevant information and sign-posting where further information can be obtained.

An additional source of advice would be your school career advisor.
