which medical degree does 'your friend' have?
Oral health? medicine and surgery? medicine and surgery (pre-medical year)? Tropical medicine? preventative medicine? oncology? or any one of the other 20+ types of medical degrees?
Also, which 'Top British University' was it? and why doesnt he want to do medicine in the Army?
just seen Speckled Jims post, a Medical Sciences degree:
'This degree programme is designed for people with a broad interest in the science of human beings, from the level of molecules and cells, to individuals. It provides a solid foundation in core biomedical subjects such as anatomy, physiology, pharmacology and neuroscience, plus elements of microbiology and endocrinology.
BSc Medical Sciences is attractive to those who envisage careers related to healthcare, medical research, hospital laboratories, hospital administration, management in world or national health organisations, diagnostics services and pharmaceuticals'
So thats why hes not wanting to join as a doctor, he isnt one. Its basically a starting block in which he could move onto other subjects such as going back to uni to dodge soap for another 4 years, or with a third: shelf stacking or hospital house-keeping services.
