So why do you want to study medicine?

Medicine is a field that would allow me to combine my long standing and deep rooted interest in the sciences with a real passion for helping people. Through the work experience placements I have under taken, I have seen how the work of doctors can have such a huge impact on people's lives and I believe my skills are well suited to taking on this role.
