We asked Edinburgh Fourth Year and ESSS Vice-President William Cambridge about getting involved in research at Medical School. William has interests in Hepato-Pancreatico-Biliary Surgery, Transplantation and Surgical Oncology. He has published research (Annals of Surgery), and presented at several conferences and symposia, for which he was awarded winner of the Oral Presentations at The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh Student and Foundation Years Research Symposium. In 2018/19, William was awarded 'Most Distinguished Scholar Prize’ for Health Sciences. Here's what he had to say... *Disclaimer: All of the advice provided here relates to things I’ve experienced; it may be incorrect and, like everything else in medicine, do not take it as gospel.

Mr Jamie Nicholson: Trauma and Orthopaedic SurgeryThe 2020 Surgical Spotlight Series is a monthly blog article in which Edinburgh-based surgeons shed light on their surgical specialty and daily life. Our aim is to educate students about each of the various specialties and the array of opportunities they bring. In March, we interviewed Mr Jamie Nicholson, a Senior Registrar at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. He was the previous module organiser of the Undergraduate T&O block for Edinburgh University during 2017-2019. We asked Edinburgh Sixth Year and ESSS president Andrew Clelland about his top tips for students interested in pursuing surgery. Here's what he had to say... Final year of med school represents an exciting time of change but is a marathon with possible academic foundation job applications, the judgement test, finals and of course your elective! This means that most of your experience in surgery will likely have to come before this time as there is less time once working as a junior doctor. So this post will hopefully provide some useful tips for budding surgeons keen to get the most out of their time in medical school! *Disclaimer: before reading, this list is not exhaustive, nor is it intended to be a checklist which you must frantically complete! Read it, have a think, set your goals and chat to someone about how you’re going to take things forward. |
