#020 - Welcome back to the The NatMatSci Podcast, brought to you by The National Mathematics & Science College. This is the podcast to let you find out more about NatMatSci by hearing from the whole community talking about their experiences, all unscripted and unplugged, so that you can hear what life is really like at the college.
With Tom Pitt, he’s the new Head of Medical Pathway and Teacher of Biology. I wanted to know first up what a Head of Medical Pathway actually is and why this is so important. But then I also got to find out some of the Ah-Hah moments students have when learning biology and also fields of work that students often end up working in.
This is a great episode and I’m sure you’re going to love it. So come with me as we step into a conversation with the new Head of Medical Pathway and Teacher of Biology, it’s Tom Pitt.

This is the podcast to let you find out more about NatMatSci by hearing from the whole community talking about their experiences, all unscripted and unplugged, so that you can hear what life is really like at the college.
Today I’m speaking to Katie Martin, she’s the new EAL Teacher. EAL stands for English as an Additional Language which means she’s perfectly placed to help students who don’t speak English as a first language.
Now I loved this episode because I got to find out where in the world Katie has travelled to, not as a tourist but for work, getting to know people in different cultures and environments, and then how that’s going to help the students at NatMatSci given the experience that Katie brings.
So let’s not waste any more time but instead come with me as we step into a conversation with the new EAL Teacher, it’s Katie Martin.

Douglas Adams Quote:
1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

Today we’re back talking to Dr Penny Robotham but last time was all about the Chemistry Olympiads, this time it’s all about applying to medical school, an area where Penny has given lots of advice with all her experience in it.
So we’re about to hear what the process of applying for medicine in the UK looks like, what the UCAT and BMAT exams are (and how they’re different to each other), and whether or not the application process is the same for each medical school – and let’s just say they don’t exactly make that part easy. But that’s why we have Penny of course, to guide and to advise on this path.
So join me right now as we find out about how to apply for med school with Dr Penny Robotham.
