This is quite a comprehensive book about what it takes to be a doctor. It has some good chapters on what is involved in applying to medical school, including a specific chapter on graduate medical courses. I found especially useful the chapter on medical ethics - a possible interview topic! Life during and after medical school is also mentioned, including an explanation of what MMC (Modernising Medical Careers) is. Also useful was the chapter on student finance - particularly information on bursaries and hardship funds.

Overall it's an excellent guide and, although this fact doesn't seem to be advertised in the book, I found out the other day that many of the authors can be contacted for further questions via the book's official website, www.acareerinmedicine.net

I would have liked a copy of this book when I was applying to medical school. It is a great resource, which I can use now as a medical student and I am sure will use as a junior doctor.

It is full of brilliant careers advice, which I have found valuable. It covers not only the obvious career path but also a number of alternatives.

A must buy!

This is a "must have" for the serious med school applicant. Easy to read, with chapters written by expert authors with specific knowledge of the topic in question. Gives advice on admissions, and on the structure and management of the medical profession. Well worth getting

A good book full of information for all those students considering a career in medicine. I would definitely recommend it.

Read it quite a long time ago but I can remember being pleasantly surprised about how easy it is to read - almost entertaining, definitely enjoyable.
