Jayashrii

Hello, I am Jayashrii a 3rd year medical student at the University of Edinburgh, currently intercalating in BSc Surgical Sciences. I applied to Oxford, Edinburgh, St Andrews and Aberdeen medical schools, and received offers from the latter three. I understand that applying to medicine can be quite stressful and complicated to navigate. I believe having a mentor to guide you through the process can make it much more enjoyable and support you to achieve your full potential!

I am a friendly and approachable individual with a passion for teaching! My teaching experiences include one-on-one mentoring, school-visits and conducting mock interviews with In2MedSchool. I have created and delivered presentations on various aspects of the medical school application process including admissions tests and interviews. I have reviewed students’ personal statements and written a blog-post on the UCAT for AceTheUCAT.

At university, I am on the committee for Edinburgh University Cardiovascular Society, an anatomy tutor for Edinburgh University Student Anatomy Society and on the committee for the British Association of Physicians of Indian Origin Young Doctors and Medical Students Forum. I am also pursuing an Undergraduate Certificate in Medical Education at the University of Edinburgh. I am involved in a research project on diabetic neuropathic pain and the development of an online systematic review tool which I aim to publish.

My experiences have enabled me to develop a good understanding of the medical application process and strengthen my mentoring skills. I am keen to create a supportive environment in our tutoring sessions for you to ask questions, learn and develop your skills.
