I'm officially a Royal...
...College of Surgeons (work experience) student! I spent the whole of last week on a Work Experience course in RCSI, living the life of a med student. On the first day it was a brief introduction to Medicine and what Leaving Cert subjects you need to do to be accepted, etc. But the week only got better! On Tuesday, we went to Beaumont Hospital for the day and were given lectures by surgeons and doctors from the different areas of Medicine about their areas of expertise and we got shown pictures of previous c ases they'd worked on and what they did to help the people they were operating on! On Wednesday, we were in Beaumont again and we got to watch LIVE surgeries!! It was amazing! They were on a live video feed from theatre and we were able to ask the surgeons questions and they kept us updated on what they were doing. It was amazing and has really encouraged me to study medicine after secondsary school... The rest of the week was just as good and we got to look at more surgeries and talk to more doctors about Cardiology, Psychiatry, Orthopaedics, Neurology and Emergency, etc.
It was an absolutely amazing week and has got me seriously considering Medicine and RCSI for college. It has helped me to narrow down my ideas for 5th year options, which we will be choosing over the next few weeks! Eeek.
