Medical Programme

Supporting potential Medics, Dentists and Veterinary Scientists, DLD offers a specialised Medical Programme which will help students maximise their chances of success.

The DLD Medical Programme

Courses in Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Science appeal to many
students because they offer the prospect of a very fulfilling and well
paid career.

However, competition for these courses is fierce. Applying to study
Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary Science at university is a challenging process. Only the most able, the most determined and the
most prepared students should try.

Whist subject tutors support the students in their academic studies, the DLD medical programme is designed to support all the other aspects of a student’s preparation and application.

The DLD Medical Programme has two parts:

• A half day conference in early September

• Weekly ‘Medsoc’ (Medical Society) meetings

We believe that the on-going support we provide sets us apart and
gives our students time to develop their skills; ensuring they are ready for all aspects of the application.

‘Getting into Medicine’ conference

In September each year, DLD hosts a half day conference, ‘Getting into
Medicine’.

• Visiting Admissions Tutors will inform about the application process
and what to expect at a medical-school interview.

• Specialist UKCAT/BMAT tutors will give a presentation on how to succeed in the aptitude tests.

• A doctor and a medical student will share stories about the challenges and the realities of studying medicine.

The conference is designed to both encourage and challenge the audience.

Medsco

Week-by-week, the following important issues will be covered:

• Work experience

• University choices

• Preparing for aptitude tests (UKCAT and BMAT)

• Writing personal statements

• Interview practice

• Ethics

The flexibility of this programme enables us to change and adapt the topics covered in order to suit the individual needs of those in the group.
