  • Kyle Alexander

    I am fortunate to have chosen to study in a state-of-the-art Medical School and one of the few in Europe and UK with cadavers as learning resources. This practice is invaluable, and alongside the early clinical exposure and diverse clinical placements that the School offers, will assist me in becoming a competent doctor and a competitive applicant for residency.
