For #TakeoverThursday we have Stefany George, an In2science mentor and Biomed student at @latrobe!

Ever considered studying medicine? Hear from Stefany about her experience and the pathway to get there!👩‍⚕️⚕️

Watch the video: bit.ly/Stefanybio or read about it here 👇

Stefany is in her 2nd year of a Bachelor in Biomedicine @latrobe and aspires to be a doctor!

To do this, Stefany must complete a Doctorate of Medicine (MD), but let's break down the steps to get there!

The first course you would complete is an undergraduate course in biomedicine. This involves completing lectures, quizzes, exams and assignments that you need to do well in to score a high Grade-Point Average (GPA).

A high GPA will improve your chances of getting into medicine

During your undergraduate course, you will also need to sit the GAMSAT which is an admission test to get into the MD course.

The GAMSAT might sound scary, but there are many videos and resources online that you can look at! Including YouTube videos of peoples experiences.

People generally sit the GAMSAT at least twice to gain experience and a better understanding of the questions! As with most things, trying things more than once gives us feedback on how to improve for next time!

Once you gain a good score on the GAMSAT you can apply for the MD

🚨Disclaimer: Any information on this thread is purely to share the students own experiences. Any information related to the GAMSAT or GPA should be taken from the university and ACER, the true endorsers of the exams and protocol.
