Hi there! I’m Billie and currently in my 4th year of the MBChB course. I am from a working-class background in Glasgow, and entered MBChB via the ‘Gateway to Medical Studies Programme’ for widening participation students.
I’ve really enjoyed my journey so far in medical school! I am currently on block rotations within different specialties, and I’ve really enjoyed speaking with patients & listening to their individual stories! In particular, I’ve loved being in community settings, such as General Practice & hospice-based palliative care.
If you have any questions about MBChB, the Gateway Programme or UofG, then don’t hesitate to ask! 😊

Additionally, over the past two years, I have served as a class representative for Astro 3 and Astro 4, which has allowed me to build connections within my cohort and represent their interests effectively.
