7 Key Tips on How To Get Admission Into Knust Medical School

Does Knust offer medicine?

Kwame Nkrumah University Of Science And Technology offers medicine. The School of medicine(SMS) was established in 1975. The vision of SMS is to be internationally recognized as a premier center of excellence in teaching, research, professional and academic training in medical sciences in Africa

Medical school admissions are extremely competitive in KNUST specifically and Ghana in general. To help you prepare, here are the top 7 tips from doctors and medical students.

1.Boost the résumé by acquiring medical experience.

Job shadowing with doctors and other health practitioners is a great way to learn more about the sector. Admissions committees do not require candidates to have actual patient-care experience. You aren’t a doctor yet, after all. They do, however, want to know that you’ve spent time researching what your potential career would entail. Job shadowing is a fantastic way to gain medical experience, but you will also be able to find other non-shadowing opportunities.

It’s best if you do some soul-searching and spend some time with the people who have the job you want. Most doctors are happy to sit down with students who are considering a career in medicine.

2.Put in Time Serving Others

Dr. Carlson volunteered with the Big Brothers-Big Sisters organization. So did Joseph. Rake leaves, build an accessibility ramp, clean the beach, walk a dog. There are lots of non-clinical options for volunteering that demonstrate your willingness to pay it forward and give back.

Doctors are generally pretty altruistic people, and med schools want to see that you care about your community or have some drive to contribute to the greater good. Community service comes in many forms, and really anything qualifies, from trash cleanup and mentorship programs to working the concession stand at a fund-raiser for a charity  anything that requires some unpaid time for a good cause

3.Choose a Major You Will Excel In

Grades aren’t everything, but they’re extremely important. Choose a field of study that will yield a competitive CWA in KNUST.

4.Do Research Projects

Demonstrate your hands-on science knowledge. “Undergraduate research experience really shines through on medical school applications. Most medical schools want students interested in research, and the best way to show that interest is to have already gotten your feet wet and KNUST is no different.

5.Study Early and Often for the Medical School Entrance Examination

Take a course and buy books and study on your own. Find the method that works for you. Take practice tests many times and don’t let your practice scores spook you.

You can use the Kaplan book series, and study by reading, highlighting, and taking notes.

6.Be Polite and Be Yourself at Interviews

Do more research Knust, Knust medical school, and look at mission statements, so you know something about the institution that you can share at the interview. Practice answering interview questions. When you arrive, be courteous to everyone you meet at the interview, including the receptionist.

• Schools invest in students and are looking for a good fit.
• Schools are interested in learning what kind of student and person you are

7.Be Ready to Explain Why You Want to be a Doctor

Avoid generic answers like “I want to help people.” There’s no one right answer. Be specific. Tell your story.
