PA advocates never like hearing it from the horses mouth. Drs argue that PA training is vastly inferior and requires Gradmed. PAs say no its fine let me see patients. An Ex-PA goes on to do gradmed and realises PA training alone WAS inferior to see patients, and now they hate him

If they offer ££ to PAs, also feel they need to be more proactive in offering bursaries to gradmed students. I remember students on my course working excessive number of hours as HCAs, Tutors etc to afford food and rent.

I would say my 4 year degree prepared me relatively well. The difference is that I had a previous degree and work experience. Why are they not expanding gradmed or offering more funded places if they’re so concerned about students’ financial issues?

Unfortunately for me (certainly at medical school), a big part of it was recognising that I had very little downtime. I did GradMed though, and that’s what the course demanded.

Or, I know I am about to say something ridiculous so hear me out, maybe that "specialty PA training programme" already exists. And it is called GradMed?

You do know that a significant number of doctors also have an undergraduate degree “in a medical/science subject” right? They are either gradmed doctors or someone who intercalated to do an undergrad during their med degree.

Can’t quite believe I’ve just finished my 5th consecutive year of uni and 18th year of education, not that I’m counting. 4 more to go 🤞🏽🤞🏽#gradmed

Moving to London, for me, meant cheaper rent, transport, and cost of living. It was a no-brainer for gradmed (cheaper fees too). People here are always amazed. Dublin is extortionate!!

Graduate Entry Medicine is a course first established in 2007 in UL, with the aim ostensibly being to help promote diversity in the medical field, by allowing multiple avenues of entry into Medicine for folks who might not be able to get in via traditional means.

We won't forget our wonderful team members who have worked so hard to make this a successful event, a SECOND time around (not including our Gradmed talk) especially @aobluesasame who managed to pull this all
together. #ILookLikeAMedic

having been a sixth former that didn’t get the grades, I had not a slightest clue about applying for foundation posts or jobs or anything I just knew biomes was what you did if you didn’t get into medicine lol my school wasn’t good enough to say all the ins and outs of gradmed

Having a virtual learning platform has been crucial for @warwickmed and @warwickuni - as a solely #gradmed course, the 4 years are condensed with very few breaks! Virtual learning has allowed curricula to become more dynamic, with resources becoming more uniformly available

Virtual learning has been an essential tool especially given the current pandemic. It has opened up the doors to so many new learning opportunities - from medical education to webinars with experts and international conferences! It has and continues to be an invaluable resource.

To those who suffered this shambolic handling of Alevels - #nevergiveup. I graduated with a BBC and then managed top of my Uni year, end up in investment banking for 7 yrs and into GradMed at GSTT. Now in my #dreamjob as #EMtrainee. #resilience matters.
