Physician Associate Tutors : 1-1 Physician Associate Preparation

Hi my name is Nadia and I am a third year medical student at Brighton and Sussex Medical School (BSMS).

I have been a university student for the past seven years, so I understand how stressful and challenging exams can be. I aim to create an environment where you feel comfortable to learn and work towards your goals. My approach is to adapt the learning style to the student to optimize their understanding and performance.

In terms of my academic background, I have experience with studying A-levels (biology, chemistry and physics), an undergraduate degree and masters (Biomedical Science BSc (Hons) and MSc).

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also volunteer within the community as a first aider with St John’s ambulance. Alongside medical school, I also work as a phlebotomist.

Whatever your aspirations, I look forward to working with you to help make them a reality!

Hi, I’m Imaan. I’m a third year medical student at the University of Plymouth, I know the interview process inside out and I know that it takes A LOT of determination. I have independently achieved all my medical school offers and thats why I know that although it seems impossible, there’s always a way to achieve your dreams and I’m here to help you find it! I have lots of experience coaching students and am easy to talk to. I have had to deal with the daunting experience of applying to medical school, independently, including; taking the UCAT exam twice! This has taught me everything there is to know about the test and I have developed many tips and tricks. I am also a foundation student and this pathway requires a lot of thought and planning, I’d be happy to answer any questions regarding any of the unconventional pathways to medicine. My motto is always being there to help, so if you have any questions, feel free to ask them!

My name is Silas and I am a Final Year Medical Student at the University of Sheffield. Prior to studying Medicine, I gained a First Class Degree in Political Science and International Relations at the University of Birmingham; my degree allowed me to apply to Undergraduate Medicine as a graduate. I can offer a unique perspective for students looking for alternate routes into Medicine and on the importance placed on varied interests by Medical Schools across the country.

As a Sheffield Medical student, I am the President of the Sheffield Emergency Medicine Society and am a member of medical societies such as Sheffield Friends of MSF and Wilderness Medicine. I am also a Community First Responder which involves responding to emergencies in the area with lifesaving equipment before the ambulance arrives. My specific areas of interest within Medicine are: Emergency Medicine, Wilderness Medicine, Pre-Hospital Medicine, Humanitarian Medicine, and Disaster Medicine.

In terms of the city of Sheffield, I was born and raised here therefore I feel that I can answer any questions that students have about the city, the lifestyle, and the surrounding area which I know is a point of emphasis from Sheffield during the interview process.

Overall, I am a patient and understanding tutor who can offer you my personal experience of the application process and as a current medical student and I feel that I can help you achieve your potential.

Hi, my name is safaa and I am a 3rd year medical student who attends Keele University. I love medicine and would love to help those who want to get into it as much as I can. I am a kind and friendly individual and would like to think I am approachable. I love to give to potential medical students so they have the best outcomes in the future. I have a friendly approach to my teaching so students to feel at ease and get the best out of the session but at the same time, I try to give honest feedback so that they can improve from what they have done and can learn from it. As a student, I feel like I know how other students would like to learn.As a medical student that went through the process of this before, I know it can feel quite daunting and hard so now that I have got where I am I would love to help students achieve their dreams.

My name is Hector Sinclair, and I am a second-year medical student at Swansea University, where I secured a place on the highly competitive Graduate Entry Medicine (GEM) programme. I graduated from The University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Advanced Studies (Medical Science), achieving a distinction average. I know first-hand how daunting the journey to medical school can be, from perfecting personal statements to conquering the GAMSAT and excelling in medical interviews.

I have extensive experience teaching and mentoring students, currently working as a Senior Teaching Assistant in Anatomy at Swansea University. In this role, I lead engaging sessions for undergraduates and postgraduates, helping them grasp complex concepts and build confidence. Beyond my university role, I have provided tailored academic support through a private tutoring company, specialising in essay proofreading and personal statement coaching.

As a Swansea University Graduate Entry Medicine interview panellist, I understand what interviewers are looking for, and I am eager to share this insight to help you succeed. I am driven to make the process of tutoring and helping students reach their goals as accessible and stress-free as possible, building their confidence along the way.

Hello, my name is Ayo! I am a Physician Associate (PA) graduate. I previously studied Medical Science at my previous university and have successfully completed the physician associate course. I have helped various Physician Associate applicants with interview preparation and I can help with personal statements too. I enjoy helping people and being able to be a mentor and guide others especially now having gone through the experience. I am passionate about healthcare and the PA role and believe that it is a great route for people who are interested in practicing medicine and want to be generalist. I would like to pass my knowledge forward to other students as I was also helped by other PA students and practicing PA’s.
I am a friendly person who enjoys supporting and interacting with new people and I believe I would be a great assist to you in your PA application.

Hi, I am a recent graduate in biochemistry from the University of Warwick and have just commenced my studies at the University of Aberdeen in Medicine! I went through the UCAT process twice so thoroughly understand what is required of students. Getting into medical school is a rigorous, high competitive and demanding process but with the correct skillset and support it is definitely possible! I had the opportunity to get tutoring from medic mind and can honestly say it was an exceptional and well-tailored standard to teaching. The resources along with the expert help make the process so much more manageable.

I am an approachable, enthusiastic and disciplined individual with the important skills of empathy, patience and perseverance which all assist in the way I teach. I hope to work collaboratively with students to help them achieve their goal of getting into medical school.

Hello, my name is Leah and I am a graduate entry medical student. I am in my 2nd year graduate entry medicine at Sheffield medical school!

I previously studied BSc (Hons) Biomedical Science (specialising in neuroscience) in Southampton.
I then worked for 2 years in laboratories in Manchester after graduating. This is when I became interested in applying for medicine to get a more patient facing career, which I thought would be more rewarding.
I achieved A*A*A* at A-level in Biology, Chemistry and Health & Social Care. I also sat the UCAT for my medicine applications.

I am particularly passionate about widening access to medicine for those from different backgrounds, as well as students with disabilities and can provide insight into this too 🙂

Please feel free to reach out with any queries or questions, and I’d be happy to help!

Hello! I’m Nia, a current third year Graduate Entry Medical Student at Swansea Medical School. I have previously graduated with a First Class Honours in Medical Science, and I have always wanted to be a Doctor; I am incredibly grateful for my journey. My medical interests include paediatrics, psychiatry and emergency medicine. Just a few short years ago, I was preparing for my Medical School interview, so the required knowledge and skills are fresh in my mind, and I am eager to help you get into Medical School. I am well practised in lots of different interview question styles. I will be able to help you practise your technique and give you honest, critical feedback. For my own interview, I conducted a lot of thorough preparation. From that, I have gained a deep understanding of how to approach interview questions confidently. I have also enquired with professionals and students whom have been part of medical interview panels and I know what they look for in successful candidates, so I believe I have the best advice to help you succeed. I have informally tutored three friends for interview, who all received offers for GEM, and highly regarded my advice in helping them begin their journey. Lastly, I understand that the Medical School Application Process can feel daunting, as I have been through it recently myself, with many challenging hurdles to jump, so I am enthusiastic about also providing help to those who seek any kind of advice about the process, including personal statement help.
