Freshers’ firsts : Academic first times

*This episode was recorded live* This is a strange time to be starting your first year of medical school - covid-19 is changing the way in which you learn and socialise, and find out what being a medical student is about. For some, they may be the first cohort in a brand new medical school - and have no older year to learn from. Well, Sharp Scratch has done two live episodes to answer all those nagging questions - firstly about the academic side of being a student, and secondly, on the social side. In this week's episode the panel are joined by Richie Oparka, consultant pathologist and head of first year at Dundee medical school, as they discuss and reminisce on their first years, including dissection, lectures and exams.
