Access to medicine, where to start, no qualifications
Hi, first of all I'm not really sure where to start, so I am asking for any advice really.
I am 22, no gcse's or a-levels (various reasons why I didn't get any, but I wont bore you with those now), no work experience of any note and basically I am looking to get back into HE.
Ever since I was a small kid I wanted to be a doctor, so recently I have been looking at my options and I decided there was no way I could get into any kind of medical course as I'm too old, so I applied for an access to radiography course and sat the entry test, I was accepted for the course starting this year.
However after thinking about it more and arranging my shadowing experience I am not sure I really want to do radiography, I think to be honest I would just resent not being a doctor, so I am wondering if it is too late to start trying to get into medicine, and where do I start?
Should I be looking to do GCSE's or A-levels this year if possible? Should I be waiting till next year to apply for an access to med class, like at MANCAT or something? I am considered reasonably bright but I just haven't had the chances to get the bits of paper to prove it...
Obviously I need to get some work experience either way, but where should I start education wise?
