What Is a Medicine Degree?

Saving someone’s life is perhaps one of the most remarkable feelings in the world. Even so, not so many of us have the chance to experience this. It takes passion, a strong personality and years of study to be able to work in the medical field.

Pursuing a Medical degree is not only challenging and demanding but also competitive. Medical degrees are shaped for people who show high motivation and commitment as well as interest for sciences. 

Throughout a Medicine degree, candidates are equipped with a wide range of competences, from practical abilities required for specialized hands-on tasks to communication skills needed to interact with the patients. Thus, any medical students will be able to take a simple blood sample as well as perform a complex surgical procedure.

Benefits of a Medical Degree

Undoubtedly, medicine is one of the most vital fields of work – therefore there will always be a high demand of workforce needed. The employment rate for a medical graduate student is of 90%.

Due to its diverse branches, graduates from a Medical course have a variety of career choices, according to their expertise. Nursing, radiology, anaesthetics are just some of the many specialities offered in this field. Regardless of the speciality, the most important aspect needed to be taken into consideration is that medical professionals are well-respected and well-paid all over the world. 

Additionally, graduates possess a series of transferable skills, such as logical reasoning, critical appraisal, listening, written and oral communication and many others. These assets are sought and highly valuable in most fields of work.

Medical Degree Structure

Medical courses are usually a six-year commitment, but it can vary according to the university. Most of the modern universities integrate clinical education with basic sciences from the beginning of the academic curriculum, while traditional institutions divide them into preclinical and clinical education. 

Most schools understand the importance of practical knowledge, especially in this field, therefore they encourage the students to observe professional healthcare practitioners. Another way to gain practical experience is to go to different clinics and receive specialised training, followed by actual practical work. 

No matter the practices of the university, always keep in mind that medical courses are structured differently in every country. Therefore, medical qualifications gained in one country are not necessarily recognised in another country.

    Four years of Opportunity

    The University of Toronto definitely has a reputation of being a very academically oriented school, which it is, however, not a lot of people realize how many opportunities this school has to offer. There are so many research opportunities, clubs, sports, etc, for students to get involved in. For example, every year before the summer you can apply to many research and volunteer job postings offered by the university and outside the university, on a website the school has. This, along with the hundreds of clubs offered make meeting people actually really easy. As someone who has nervous about meeting new people, joining many clubs was a big help. Also, the overall atmosphere of the school is really motivating, everyone works really hard which at times can make you feel pressured as there defiantly is a huge workload. Overall I would say this school offers lots of opportunities, can feel academically challenging at times, the professors and fellow students are usually really nice.

    Good reputation

    The university has a very high academic reputation. The course level is high and is situated in a good place. The one thing that was disappointing was that I had a 95% + admission average & still didn’t receive a scholarship because there weren’t “enough scholarships” which I find hard to believe & put a financial stress on me. Otherwise, great university!

    More Clubs and Programs at the Scarborough Campus

    Our campus has only a few programs and club compared to the St.George and Mississauga
    Campus. We have the PanAm centre, however more clubs and sports at the campus would be better for students to get more involved if there is more opportunities available. Also we need more programs for students to have a variety of unique programs to choose.

    The beginning of my university journey

    I haven’t started my first year so I can’t speak on much of what is going on, but so far they have been very nice to me and given me as many resources as they can. To be honest I am very nervous I’m going to be left behind because the university won’t help me. But so far it’s been ok.
