We know that our course can be exceptionally tough and, ironically, we may forget that before looking after our patients, we have to look after ourselves! So, this page is a platform for you to vent about MVST, joke about 2nd MB and, most importantly, to ask anonymously for advice and support. With such a large group of medics at Cam, combined with the older years, there is sure to be somebody with the same questions or concerns that you have and anybody (you can choose to remain anonymous by replying through the site to your chosen Medfare###) with helpful advice is free to share their experience and help.
Please put in relevant CNs and TNs to help us when we post
Be nice! We'll be moderating comments and there's no need to be hostile
Please remember that help is always available in multiple different forms, so never feel like you are alone! Please refer to our Welfare Essentials flowchart which has many, but not exhaustive, contacts for people you can get in touch with.

Any opinions on Year 6 Senior Medicine (and other blocks) in Cambridge vs regional hospitals? Is it better in terms of teaching, stricter in terms of attendance etc?

Yes it definitely is! I didn't personally row for my college last year but I know a few guys that did that had a blast and smashed their exams. Just have a chat with your captain about it and I'm confident they'll accommodate. The only thing is it honestly just depends on where your places during the time of the races. But in terms of attending outings and enjoying the sport; yep you sure can! 👍
