Review
"The book is an excellent resource. I would even go so far as to say, an essential read for those thinking of applying for medicine, medical students and junior doctors. The book is like that A-Z we all forgot to put in the car before a long journey." --Cambridge Medicine Journal
"My daughter and I would have found this compendium of enormous value during the difficult decision-making months, leading up to her medical school application. I will make sure she has a copy to guide her through the rest of her training." --Professor David Warrell, Senior Editor, Oxford Textbook of Medicine
