<\/p>\nHello!<\/p>\n
I\u2019m new to joining the student blogging team so here is a bit more about me\u2026<\/p>\n
I am currently in my 3rd<\/sup> year of studying Graduate Entry Medicine, which means I am technically a 4th<\/sup> year medic. Before getting into Medicine, I studied Biomedical Sciences here at UoB which I loved and did some exciting things such as going to Tanzania to experience working in a hospital and a summer research project in Cancer sciences. It feels weird to say I have been a student for 6 years because it has gone so fast, I can still remember moving into my flat on the Vale as a Fresher!<\/p>\n I\u2019m from Tamworth, which isn\u2019t too far from Birmingham and as I now commute to all my hospital placements, it makes sense to live at home. Outside of studying, I have a few different hobbies which are mainly exercise related. I love going to the gym to strength train and enjoy practising yoga (keeps me zen). Last year I qualified as a personal trainer because I wanted to know how to give exercise advice to patients when I\u2019m a practising doctor. I also try to squeeze in some running and horse riding. During Biomedical Sciences and before medicine became a big thing taking up my time, I used to compete regularly with horses but now I just enjoy getting to ride non-competitively if I\u2019ve got time on the weekends! Aside from all these, I work in a shop and as a barista to help pay for all the coffees I drink at bouji coffee shops around Birmingham (200\u2019 coffee and Medicine caf\u00e9 are a must if you like \u2018gram worthy cafes).<\/p>\n A few more facts about me are that my all-time favourite food is crusty bread, nothing beats it! I absolutely love Indian food with my favourite dishes being a dhal or dhansak. I have a pony called Appleiack (who I basically grew up with and have had for 15 years). My favourite coffee is a gingerbread latte, even in July! I\u2019d say I\u2019m quite boring but something vaguely interesting about me is I did a skydive during fresher\u2019s week after a fresher\u2019s night out, which is quite inventive way to get rid of feeling a bit rough?!<\/p>\n I will be writing blogs regularly so look out for them or you can hear more from me on the college of medical and dental sciences Instagram page.<\/p>\n Thank you for reading\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Beth x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello!
