My favorite things about my b. S. C. Um I think like the topic itself was like the most interesting for me. I just absolutely loved, like um the everything I've learned so far, I found it so interesting like everything that was um about diving altitude, space medicine. It's like something that's like you never really know about until you do this bsc, and even like my cohorts. What I really like about remote as well is that it's kind of mix split, so it's like about half externals, half internals, and that definitely is quite important because the externals are like they're new in here in london most of the time, and they kind of really want to integrate so in terms of socials as well, I feel like if you want to meet new people and go out with them and do like different things, it's like kind of good bsc to do it and yeah, I think we all get along very well. We all have like a similar like quite outgoing and things and that was definitely quite interesting, so yeah no race welcome, hi, do you have any questions, um feel free to like I'm mute yourself or just tap in the chat, I'm happy to answer anything. The dreaded research question that people tend to go on to get publication is that very rare um so basically I feel like it depends on the project that you choose. Obviously, it's like you never really guarantee that you're gonna get a publication. Um However, I think that in our year there's quite a few people that could go on with publications, so it really depends like a primary objective is to get a publication. Then you have to go more for like projects that a bit less like getting data itself, so for example, more like um audits and things like that or like um more like gathering the data from databases and analyzing it yourself. Um So, I feel like quite a few like I remember one of the main project lead has I think about 17 students who have publication room of medicine in three years, so definitely I think it's possible if you choose the right projects what is remote medicine about so remote medicine. This thing is similar to the other um signs, bachelor in the sense that we have like three modules, similar assessments, the only thing that's a bit different or is this what you learned about so remote medicine. There's like three different topics that you mainly learn about the first one is diving in altitude medicine, so like the different conditions arise when you go um very like under the like low altitudes when you're diving and you go up very quickly or like high altitude. As well. Secondly you also learn about space medicine, so anything that can happen to like astronauts. In general, when they go into space stuff like that um an expedition medicine is the last one, what they call it neural medicine, so it's either in expedition, for example, those people go to antarctica, um how do you select those people, what are the challenges and then india, and you also have the rel, areas um in the middle of nowhere like, for example, in the middle of scotland, what are the main challenges you can have in medicine, so it's like a mix you learn about a lot of different things there's a bit of like respiratory things, example of oxygen environments um You learn about psychology as well like what how like an expedition can affect your mental health, how to combat those things. Um You know about sleep um so the second mix of mixture of things we also learn about like a bit of neurology into space um cardiovascular problems as well, so, if you want something that's a bit more broad you don't really specialize and you're quite into a bit of different things. I think remote medicine is quite good for this, Do you magnetic questions, is it true that we go abroad um not anymore apparently, um they were not really sure why they removed the whole project's of going abroad. Um However, you used to have like a small expedition or like you go for like a couple of days in the middle of like wales or scotland somewhere, and you kind of do like different activities. You learn about first aid, rescue in the middle of nowhere um and go hiking and kind of different things as well that happens uh to, for example your heart rate and stuff like that when you go on expeditions, but yeah how big is the cohort. So right now, we're 26 people and it's about half and half externals, half internals, so things about 10 externals, so about 16 internals, yeah it's quite a good cohort as well like if you're the type of people that um it's quite outgoing or in general, they like want to socialize, I think like promote Medicine is definitely good, why have I enjoy the most about it. I think definitely the people um because there's so many externals, they really want to like make the most out of imperial and like that time in london for some, so, they are quite keen on going out and then you get like we got very close, especially, I think the trip in november to go and to wales, definitely brought us like quite close together um So definitely most of the one of the most tight knit groups, I think among all the bachelors and as well like the course in general, if you're looking a bit for like a break of doing conventional medicine and you want to know a bit more about everything else like space and diving. Like if you like those topics, I feel like you're definitely gonna enjoy it and it's also like kind of you're more free, especially in term to to kind of see how we want to organize your time, So then you can also like have more free time than you did in that year, so yeah what have I disliked or found hard, um I think it's because in it's a good and a bad thing that because the most medicine is quite different from what we've seen. So far, we had a lot of lectures in term wan to kind of a bit get used to family arise ourselves the new topics um so it can be like quite packed days during the first two months, 1st 23 months um That was quite like intense at times, but to be fair, you don't have to always show up to every single lectures so um that's that uh in which campus are we at, so we're mainly in Hammersmith Campus and then sometimes we're in BRompton Campus, so I would say like 60 60 70% of the time when Hammersmith like the White 61 then the Royal brompton is about New South kensington like a terminate walk from the South Can station, Yeah Any other questions, no choice, do you have any questions, feel free to like write in the chart, and anything well that's okay, don't worry when maybe choose remote medicine, So I feel like for me, I've always been quite interested in the topics that we learn, so there's like three like three main um things that you can kind of you learn about and then you can choose to like do your projects on, So the first one was like diving in altitude medicine um the second one was like space medicine and expeditions and the third one is like neural medicine in, like remote areas um and I thought that like in terms of the kind of what you were learning about it was the most interesting especially if you wanted to, you're not really sure you don't want to specialize into like just neuro, just endo or cardio. For example, we've seen a bit of everything this year um So we definitely seen neurology, cardiology, respiratory as well um So I think that was quite nice and as well like I think remote medicines one of the most tight knit courses in terms of like everyone knows everyone, everyone's very friendly um So I think that as well play the part, do you have any any questions uh Right now, we are 26 people on the course, so I think it's about 10 externals and 16 internals. Approximately, I'm not entirely sure, I think it's about half half, but we're definitely 26 so it's one of the smaller bs cs um Right, so remote medicine was my first choice. I originally got my third choice, which was neurology, um but then I applied to swap so you have to the process. Is, you literally need to write um kind of application of what you would like why you deserve to switch to the your first choice or second choice or whatever um so that's what basically I did so in the end, I got my first choice, but from the allocation, it wasn't it was my third choice, So yeah you can, if ever you don't get your first choice, you can always like, apply and stop, and for example, in my case, I got it so how was your how to be a c, informed the academic interests. Mhm, That's a very good question. I think it's definitely brought in about my interest because um how to explain this like as a doctor usually always think oh that's just nhs um And you always think about the main pathways And I feel like remote medicine is quite different like you. The lecturers have come around literally. They have gone on to like antarctica exhibition expeditions for like six months, and they come back and talk about it. Some of them are working for the ESA, um So it's definitely like you meet people. I think you would not technically adam, eight in usually, if you like doing normal like medical career, so I think it just like broadens a bit of how what a doctor can do and apart from the nhs apart from hospital, um There's so many different things that you can kind of do and I think that remote medicine is a good thing for this, so, yeah, I definitely the professors have come and talked and everything's like quite fun what types of research projects can get involved in. Um There's quite a lot of different projects um There's like as I say kind of everything that um all the different topics we've learned about and then some also just like for example if you want to do lunar space so like space medicine, there's like projects what I'm doing right now, is looking at how the lunar dust can affect lung cells. Some are doing more just mechanical engineering um projects, so just engineering, like zero medicine. In it, there's some there's a bit more just audit, space and like getting data from like different databases and making an audit or different projects, so those type of projects usually have a higher chance of publication that's interested in. Um So there's like lab projects as well um there's some where you're bit looking for example at sleep or different like low oxygen environments and you're taking also your own um like results. Um It's a bit more lab based in clinic oh, and I think some as well as some I think a i there's a couple as well for some of this one, looking at a i, one lead, a i stethoscope or different like robotic surgery as well, so I feel like in terms of project, there's a wide range of different things you can choose to do. I want to say, I found the most challenging I think like in the beginning you have to get used to a different um kind of vibe, because like medicine you're used to just learning the content and then having exams about it and this feels much more about applying it, so you're reading a lot, and then you have to actually write essays about it and I think that's sometimes a bit like you're hard to wrap your head around, especially you've never done this before, um but you get actually good support. I would say during the first term um Like trying when you're still new for you, you get a lot of different tutorials, so if you go to them, they're very helpful, um So I guess that's like nothing has been really really challenging in terms of like not being able to cope, so it's just like using what the faculty what the course gives you um can really help for that. Any other questions okay are there any prerequisites know that no so basically the only thing in imperial um that you have to do um if your internal is just the happiness algorithm, so you just rank your choices from one to 126, I think I don't remember and then it just goes like whichever the ai tries and find what it will make the most people happy um So that's literally this like zero prerequisite to anything no worries. He's teaching very initially to be helpful generally for medicine. Um The thing I think about this year is that everything is gonna be quite niche no matter what you do um afterwards, I think that those are definitely you won't see them every day, for example, like how many times do you see people come back with like acute mountain syndrome, like basically what they can get. If they go the climate to high altitudes too quickly, so I feel like it's a bit more niche in its sense, but it's also very interesting and I feel like something's you can definitely kind of move across. So for example, we also saw the psychology of how to select people they go on expeditions, so what type of profiles are you looking for what makes a good leader how to test for those like characteristics and that was you know you can always use that in other fields, I guess apart from just expedition, for example, in the nhs, if suddenly decide to be like oh how can you choose to have a good leader, I feel like you can definitely kind of go through those things. Um So, yeah it's a bit of a mix, I guess so, but yeah it still stays medicine in the end and actually now I think about it, it's a lot as well in like rule medicine, so we focus much more on like a I different AI systems and I feel like also in the future. If you think about it more and more, it's gonna be technology based AI base and that's quite helpful for this yeah. No worries, do you have any other questions just feel for you to put them in the chat. What topics do you cover in first term okay, so there's like three main like categories do they call it, so the first one you see like diving medicine, altitude medicine, um so mostly what's like the pressures and kind of what happens if there's like accidents in diving. Um. The second one is space medicine, so like usually what happens to astronauts. Um This is one is a bit more vague so you see different things where at neurology, respiratory cardio, um lots of different things and then the third one is expedition um sorry, expedition, INR oral medicine, so it is more like for example what happens in neural areas where the challenge is that um for example difficulty to access to healthcare in terms of distance location um like wars, war medicine, you see you see a couple of those things um and then psychology as well as expeditions. Um. So, yeah it's it's quite interesting and you cover a lot of different things that you probably have never really seen before in like the previous years, which is what I found the most interesting, not any out dates or trips uh. Yeah actually they are we went for, I think it was four or five days trip and so it's usually scotland and wales, so this year we went to wales to bracken beacons, the National Park, and so we kind of just like two main days to stay there, so during one of them is just going to hike and you have like different like we were monitoring heart rates and respiratory rates as well and different things. Um and then at the end, we had to like kind of do data collection analysis of this um and then the second day we did a simulation case scenario of first aid rescue, so there was like a little like scenario of multiple casualties and we were like the first responders, so we got a bit of training before that and then we had to apply on the field like how would you if you had just you yourself and then it's like for example an accident, what how do you react, who do you treat first and stuff like that, so it's very interesting and I feel like it definitely as well help with like just getting to know your course because it's definitely the beginning of um um so the beginning of your four, so you literally start to get to know people and then you go on the trip and then you spend like days with them and it's like really fun you get to know everyone. It's a fun, fun times, no worries, don't worry, yeah, yeah right hi, um If you have any questions just like put them on the chat, I'm happy to answer anything okay, yeah how much okay high, If you have any questions just put them in the chat high, if you have any questions just put them in the chats uh No not anymore sadly they removed it, however, used to have a small trip and the beginning of first term somewhere in the uk, so usually wales or scotland, no worries, finished, yeah.
