 👉 Episode 18:
Learning Medicine is hard and can be made even harder when a global pandemic hits, and won't stop hanging around. With the cancellation of in-class teaching, clinical placements, university social events - it can be hard to stay focused and on top of your studies. The isolating experience of working from home was compounded when we all started studying from home. Without the social interaction and support from peers, without the inperson tutoring and guidance from our teachers, it was tough and has changed the way medicine is taught for good. In this episode of the podcast, Karim and Gabbi chat to Marley who is an MD3 student placed at the Royal Melbourne Hospital, all about what it is really like to study Med during a global pandemic. They talk about how they got through it, including Marleys hobby of creating med related Tik Toks! You can follow Marley on Tik Tok here: @marl.eyy

📢 About this MINI MOCK series:
This mini series is all about giving students an opportunity to practice some MMI stations, with examiners who have done it all before. Each episode we have a new station type and new student having a go at answering it! As the listener, you will be able to hear what a response sounds like as well as get some guidance from our examiners who are all successful med applicants.

🎓 About This Station:
Station 12: You come across a dishevelled looking 50 year old homeless man on the side of a street with a sign explaining the reasons for his homelessness and asking for money.
Questions: 
1. How do you make the decision whether or not to give him money?
2. What if it was a child?
3. What are the wider implication for homelessness for society?
4. How can medical school students help the homeless? What can we do to stop it?
5. Do you think the government provides enough services for disadvantaged minority groups?

📢 About Making Of An Incredible MD Podcast:
