If you want to be a doctor, this course is perfect. Attended in June of 2016 in London and enjoyed every second of it. We learnt so much and It really helped when applying to university too

It's the people that make it , felt very welcomed, lots of fun and learned so much more than I could have from reading about med school on my computer. Thanks so much

Dear team

I just wanted to say that my daughter had the most amazing time in Thailand and really enjoyed the hospital experience. She was lucky enough to witness a C-Section, along with various other operations etc.

She has made so many wonderful friends from around the globe and said that the the team in Thailand were 'awesome' - her words.

I cannot thank you enough for offering her this once in a lifetime experience.

Kindest regards

hands down the best thing I could have done this summer. I went to London, England with premed and from start to finish, i had the best 2-weeks. Where do I start, the staff, unreal, always wanting the best for you and always wanting to help with whatever silly question or request i had. The other students, well you cant get to pick them but I had an awesome group! I shared with 11 other guys in a large room and we had a blast! The experience, great in the hospitals, we went to about 5 different ones I think and we visited a couple of med schools too. The only critique would be a day spent first aid training, they say it's to help with your applications as looks good but me and another few guys were already qualified so felt it was a bit of a wasted day. best thing i could have done with my summer to prepare me for med school. can't wait to be a doctor!

Had an absolute Ball in London, I didn't want to go overseas to work in a hospital, I wanted to stay in the UK and I enjoyed every part of my experience. There is hands down, no way i could have arranged all the things that Premed Projects were able to arrange and I feel more confident with my personal statement, MMI and UKcat. I feel ready to start my applications and would do it all again given the chance.

Great people, great city, great experience

London Premed Projects

This is my review of my trip to London in February 2017 In a nutshell, it was fantastic. there was a large group of us, over 30, all staying next to Tower Bridge in London in dorms. It's scary when you don't know anyone and just have to make friends but everyone is the same so its actually really easy. I made best friends with the girls in my room and over the course of the week, we did everything together. I arrived direct at the accommodation so I can't comment on how it's like to arrive at the airport or train station but when I arrived, he was waiting for me in the lobby. That evening we all had food at pizza express and it was a girls birthday - the staff already knew this and had gone and bought a massive cake and a card that we all signed, little things like that make you feel right at home.

We spent our first day at St George's hospital - I have to say I may get the order of these days mixed up as it has been a few months since I got back! Here we shadowed a doctor and the day was all about neurology. he took time to explain everything you could possibly want to hear about the brain and we were able to see some human samples too included those with cancerous cells and other diseases.

The next day we forst aid trained and spent the day at Imperial University becoming certified first aiders. Then we had a day at the medical society of London where medical students spent the whole day teaching us about med school, how to get in, what we need to do and making sure we were happy with the whole process.

The following day we were at Whittington hospital witnessing a surgery and practicing clinical skills with the doctors too and on our final day, we went to St Batholomew hospital where doctors took us through clinical training.

Each evening we had different food, I am vegetarian and had lots of choices each night. To get to the hospitals we took the tube normally, it's busy but the staff kept us together although it wasn't exactly my favorite part of the trip it has to be said!

Overall, a wonderful experience, i wouldnt change a thing really, well worth the cost and if anyone is sitting on the fence I can't reccomend Premend Projects enough if that helps.

I enjoyed my time spent in London and the opportunity it provided me to learn more about medicine. I met loads of people from all over the world on the trip and found it immensely valuable for my applications to medicine from the UAE. I still mention it a lot in conversation, which shows how much fun I had I guess!

Seeing how difficult it is to get work experience in hospitals, I came across Premed Projects from my teacher as she knows how much I want to go into medicine. You really need work experience before you apply and I signed up to 1-weeks in London during February. I got the train from Manchester and when I stepped off I met at least 15 other students and the Premed Staff waiting in the station.

We waited and got a bus to take us to the accommodation which was really nice. It took us a little while to get checked in but after were were we met the entire group for the forst time. There was 32 ( I think!!!) on our program which was good but bad in the same way as we couldn’t really all get to know eacherother that well as we were only there for a week but was good that we never got bored!

Our rooms were very nice and all has a shower and a bathroom and I shared with 4 other girls meaning it wasn’t cramped.

On our first day we went to Georges hospital and we were able to learn all about the brain and were looked after by a really senior doctor there (forgot name!) who was really nice and didn’t make the subject boring at all but rather fascinating actually.

The next day we were in the royal society of medicine learning first aid and then went to the meet a senior doctor at the university of tropical medicine where we took part in her research. On Wednesday we went to Barts Hospital where we were able to learn clinical skills and shadow a doctor there and on Thursday we went to the British medical association for a day of interview and personal statement work. On our last day we went to an NHS hospital for some surgery experience.

Overall I had a really great time and learnt so much from the week. I feel confident in applying now and am looking to do another experience with Premed this summer to Thailand

Thanks again to the staff for being awesome and letting us have fun as well as teaching us incredible things.

Thanks

I travelled from Stockport to Thailand with Premed Projects and had a great time. I’m 16 and want to become a midwife. There wasn’t anyone on my flight and I travelled alone and was met by the staff, very easy to see when I landed. We then took another flight straight away up to Chang Mai and I met up with the rest of the group.

There was 25 students on my project and I stay in touch with many of them, sounds clicjed but you really do get to meet lifelong friends on the trip so don’t worry if you are travelling alone like me.

The staff were all fab and would always make sure everything was fine for us in the hospitals and with ourselves. Some members of the UK office visited during my trip and we got to meet the company directors too who were all very nice and super keen we were having a good time.

A litte tip is to bring some insect repellant as a few members of my group were bitten and didn’t bring any with them and also to take small notes as sometimes changing the larger ones was tricky in some smaller places.

Thailand is a wonderful country and we got to see 6 different hospitals during my trip. Every morning we were met by the hospital staff who all had smiles on their faces, really happy we were there.

The food and accommodation were all great and I would recommend anyone to go, I had an amazing time!
