Rebecca

My name is Rebecca. I have an undergraduate degree in Biological and Biomedical Sciences from Trinity College Dublin, where I specialised in Neuroscience. This academic foundation equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of core scientific principles and introduced me to specialized modules in psychology and psychiatry, enriching my perspective on the workings of the human brain.

Following my graduation, I spent a year working as a dental nurse in Dublin. This role provided me with invaluable clinical experience and firsthand exposure to patient care. Working closely with general dentists, orthodontists, periodontists, dental hygienists, and oral surgeons gave me a broad understanding of the diverse fields within healthcare. Through this, I gained practical insights into the benefits and challenges healthcare professionals encounter daily and developed essential skills in patient interaction and multidisciplinary teamwork.

My time in the healthcare environment, combined with my passion for science, inspired me to pursue a career in medicine. This decision was bolstered by my strong academic background, which served as a solid foundation for the GAMSAT exam, where my results exceeded my expectations.

In summary, my educational background in Neuroscience and practical experience as a dental nurse have collectively shaped my commitment to a future in medicine. These experiences have equipped me with both the academic knowledge and the interpersonal skills necessary to thrive as a healthcare professional and I am eager to use this experience to help others prepare for their medical school interviews, supporting them in achieving their own aspirations of entering the field of medicine.
