Review about Abbey College Cambridge Summer Camp
2 weeks at the Abbey College Cambridge Summer Medical School in Cambridge were sent as one day.
Summer Medical Program in England
2 weeks were easy, for some people they seemed complicated, but every day we learned something new, practice as doctors.
We learned to provide first aid, practiced in suturing and preparing, learned how to work in a team and quickly make decisions. Together we visited the leading medical universities in the UK. I had the opportunity to talk with professors of medicine and former graduates of Abbey College Cambridge , and now practicing doctors!
All the guys confessed that they would like to return to college in September 2018, but already as students of the A Level Medics program, and someone has already submitted documents!
Now my plans are to pass a one-year in medicine in the center of Abbey in Manchester : IFP in Medicine with guaranteed progression in UCLAN
