I am a final year medical student at Flinders University who is about to graduate soon. In addition, to studying medicine at Flinders I have also participated in extracurriculars such as university sports and medrevue, as stage manager. Medrevue which is a musical that is organized by medical students every year.
I moved to Australia 10 years ago and did not have much experience with their tertiary education system. However, my experiences with volunteering and private tutoring helped me build a network which later helped me gain useful advice when trying to seek admission into an undergraduate university course. I believe I would be of use to anyone who needs some mentoring while trying to navigate the tertiary education system in Australia.
The networks I was able to establish during the course of my undergraduate degree helped me a lot when trying to gain admission into medicine in Australia. I studied Bachelors of Biomedicine at University of Melbourne graduating with a First class Honors Average and a GPA of 6.8out of a maximum of 7. I was a subjective representative as well. Following my undergraduate degree a spent an year of honors research with the aged care group at the Royal Melbourne Hospital. As a result of my research I was able to publish articles in reputable journals.
I am currently studying medicine at Flinders where some members of the faculty have let me know that I have been scoring in the top 10 % of students. I am a anatomy/dissection tutor for junior medical students as well
I like setting small achievable targets in lessons because they can culminate in the achievement of a bigger goal. Short achievable targets also allows for the opportunity for lessons to be structured and motivates students when they are able to complete those targets.
Additionally, I am a fan of people working out things for themselves. For teaching lessons I do try to impart more than one way of learning but I try not to pigeon hole anyone by telling them my way is the only way They should be allowed to make a conscious choice of what method to use.
I have taught high school students in Australia for 3 years
In addition, I have been an anatomy/dissection tutor at Flinders University for the past 2 years
A proud achievement of mine was being able to multitask while studying medicine. I assumed I would be consumed with just my studies but making a routine for myself allowed me to discipline myself and take on more than one thing at a time. Hence, while studying medicine I was able to engage in extracurriculars such as medrevue, maintain social appearances with both friends studying medicine and those outside of medicine, engaging in my hobbies playing sport such as football, badminton, go on hiking/camping trips, engage in medical research and work to support my family
