• All over the world, Graduate Entry Medicine (GEM) Programmes are highly competitive and it means that the application process can be difficult.
• Before actually getting into competition for applications, every region has its own unique entry requirements and application process which can be tricky.
• For example, some regions have entry exams as well as interviews along with requiring comprehensive written applications.
• Right now, demand for UK GEM programmes is really high and this adds pressure to a complex process where there’s limited places available and difficult exams.
• This is why UK and international students benefit from exploring the range of world-class programmes taught beyond British medical schools where there aren’t entry exams yet the calibre of universities is the same.
• Although GEM applications will always be hard — after all it’s an appealing way to pursue a postgraduate medical qualification — strategic applications to renowned schools outside the UK with programmes designed for an internal career are a smart choice.
• With an international degree and dynamic clinical training, students can still build a career in the UK after they’re qualified from a school delivering programmes abroad.
