This book is addressed to future and enrolled medical students, as well as new graduated doctors, with the main aim to help them getting the grips of what the medical degree is all about and what are the different phases encountered as well as how to survive them.

There are various aspects that medical students should be aware of, some “hidden issues” that no one will tell you unless they have passed from the experience themselves. This book will also feature the author’s personal experiences both as a student and a lecturer. This is a unique feature that will enable readers to understand that they are not alone, others have experienced their fears and desires.

Readers will be provided with tips on how to survive the course, how to deal with arising issues, and how to balance studying and living a life.

This book intends to also highlight the importance of researching during medical school and how to go about it as well as how to prepare CVs and job interviews.

An insight into life beyond medical school is also provided.

Thanks to the practical and easy-to-use outline – in accordance with various stages from enrolling to preclinical and clinical stages expectations, from targeting work-life balance to conducting research, preparing for a medical job interview and life beyond-, this book will benefit and guide all future medical doctors through their medical school years.
