Hi everyone,

I'm a doctor who is currently unable to pursue a medical career.

I absolutely love teaching and I am currently 1/3 done with my PGCert in Medical Education and a remote TA role in my university in my home country (not paid). In the meantime I have been tutoring on superprof. It has been pretty slow, I got 3 students in and around medicine, my rates are very low still.

I am trying to expand and understand that most of the tutoring market in the UK revolves around the GCSE, A-levels and UCAT.

My issue is that I studied abroad most of my life and have not sat for UCAT, GCSEs or A-levels. I am confident that my university science courses and medical degree put me in a good spot to teach science, chemistry, biology and psychology. I want to build up my skills, knowledge and credibility in the school/highschool tutoring field.

Was wondering if anyone has recommendations on how to go about it? Even if there are some organisations that provide some training where I can start off volunteering I am happy to do so.

Thank you

Hello,

I just recieved a rejection from the MSc Health Data Analytics and Machine Learning programme. I'm from a medical background. It is obviously super disappointing because I didn't see that coming.

I applied for a similar program at UCL and got an offer within 10 days.

For Imperial, I applied on the 16th of April, references completed on the 20th and "with department" from the 24th. Rejected 13th of May.

I was wondering if the fact my application was late may have played a role in my rejection?

Also want to know if anyone has been recently successful with the course from a medical background? Would love to chat and get advice on how to strengthen my applications (if I end up deferring or missing the UCL scholarship)

Thank you,
