  The course is simply what you would expect of a medical degree with added inclusivity. Staff do really try and encourage an interactive environment which is open to mistakes and development. Timings are manageable and it's always excellent when a guest speaker is in. PBL takes some adjustment to but it truly is what you make of it. Unforunalty placement has been challenging due to availability in GPs and impact of corona on hospital placements. However, mock communication skills have really helped with this aspect of development.

  Scotia quay provided free to medical students in first year and half price second has been amazing, although I know this is changing and depends on eligibility it has be excellent in allowing for medics to interact with medics. En suit facilities and large enough rooms with a decent size kitchen what more would you want, sparing the odd fire alarm and the 4 washing machines and driers for all of Allan and Russel house (especially if one break down :( ) Furthermore, reception staff are welcoming and friendly.
