Siddhant

My name is Sid and I am a Doctor, taking a year out of medicine to pursue my interest in Education. Currently, I am working as an Anatomy Demonstrator at Bristol Medical School. I graduated from Lancaster Medical School in 2020. When I applied, I had interviews for Lancaster and St Georges. I was successful in both these interviews and learnt valuable skills that served me well both for my medical school entrance interview and for further interviews in my career. Most recently, I have been successful in my application for a job as a Core Surgical Trainee.

As I have gone further in education, my approach to work has evolved. This has reflected well in my exam results. I now use an evidence-based strategy, ensuring to focus on spaced repetition and active recall. When learning new concepts I focus on gaining an understanding of the most basic principles and as a result, I am able to remember things well and apply them to problems. These strategies are ones that I pass on to students, helping them develop their revision techniques. For interviews, the most useful strategy for preparation in my experience is to do practice questions. This approach has worked for me on a number of occasions and it is how I focus my time when mentoring students for the interview.

I look forward to working with you!
