Salmaan

My name is Salmaan and I am an F1 Doctor working in London, recently graduating from the Norwich Medical School, University of East Anglia (Medicine, MBBS). I also hold a first-class honours degree in BSc Sports Medicine from the University College London (UCL), which I achieved during my intercalation year.

I received 3/3 offers from Norwich Medical School, Hull York Medical School and the University of Southampton during my application cycle. I am also well-versed in the Widening Participation/Foundation Year route of entry as I attended a local state comprehensive.

As someone who has been through the process 8 years ago, I am well-aware as to how challenging it can be! I am passionate about delivering the same outcomes for my students as I managed to achieve for myself during that time, and some of my former mentees are currently studying at medical schools such as UEA, Barts,St. George’s and St. Andrew’s, to name a few. I always aim to offer my students the support and advice I wished someone had given me during my application, and aim to provide a friendly environment where students feel comfortable to ask questions without fear of judgement or looking silly – its always easier working with someone who has been in your shoes!

In my spare time I am an avid sports fan (which has largely been the source of inspiration for my intercalated year in Sports Medicine) and like to unwind by regularly playing football and going to the gym. I also enjoy and keep up to date with cricket and boxing.
