My name is Gabrielle and I’m a second-year medical student at the University of Western Australia (UWA). I’m currently in my psychiatry clerkship, and I finished my Surgery clerkship a few weeks ago, so for today’s blog, I’ll be writing a bit about tips and tricks I’ve found helpful in starting clerkship this year!

In this blog I hope to untangle some of that information and explore how and why I am comfortable training in Australia even though it’s not a guaranteed pathway.

Are you interested in studying the Sydney Doctor of Medicine, but you want the inside scoop on the course before you hit apply? Well, you’re in luck. Two third-year students are here to give you the low down.
