- What problems do you face??

Volume of information to be dealt with. Funds can get quite tight.

- What do you hate about your course??

Organisation of the school office. Stuff thats supposed to be student selected but isn't really, but don't worry about that.

- What do you love about your course??

Patients are interesting. Pathology (ie the disease process) is interesting. Procedures.

You don't have to do full night shifts, but they are the best learning opportunity you will get. See patients, do stuff, have the previous 2+ years of work suddently make sense... I can't emphasise this enough.

- Is there anything you would change about yout course or your work load??

If we wanted it to be less work it would take much longer. In my 3rd year I've been able to direct a show and (@hopeful) play regular gigs with a band and still do well in my exams.

That's my 2 cents.
