Hi,

I’m a pharmacist (finished my MPharm), and I’ve been thinking about applying to Medicine as a graduate.

I’m based in Scotland, and I’ve already used my SAAS funding for the 5 years of Pharmacy, so I’m a bit unsure about the financial side. Does anyone know how funding works for Graduate Entry Medicine after that, and roughly how much I’d need to pay for the 4 years?

Also, has anyone here gone from Pharmacy → Medicine, or knows someone who has? How realistic is it, and how difficult is the process?

I know GEM is really competitive, and I’d probably need to do the GAMSAT/UCAT, but does having a Pharmacy background help at all?

Would really appreciate any advice or experiences, thanks!
