Life of a Biomed student *quarantine edition*
Its 2016 and my year 10 self is sitting at my desk unsure of many things to do with University... that's when I came across The Inside Word and I've been reading this blog since then! So here it goes đ Welcome! I'm Jasmine, a first year student from Auckland...
A very strange first semester

WHAT’S IN MY BAG? MED SCHOOL EDITION
Hello hello! Last Thursday I had my practical medical exam (OSCE), so I decided to share with you all the weird and wonderful types of equipment you'll find in a medical student's bag!
TEST DAY
The very last test/exam season of the year is upon us! I attempt to de-stress before my test with some exercise, sunshine (and rain), and yum treats.Â
Baby Doctors
A long long long absence from The Inside Word, which means Iâm back with a BIG update on everything thatâs been going on. Itâs been a busy busy busy second half of Semester Two - no doubt the busiest Iâve ever been in my entire uni life! It seems that every week a huge assignment is due, tests are looming, and weâre due back at our weekly hospital placements! So let me update you on by far the biggest change thatâs happened this semester! Weâve started going into hospitals. Yay!

A Guide to Exams
Studying is one of my least favourite things to do at university, however during this wonderful time period of exams we are in, itâs a must. It is time consuming, can be boring, stressful and a source of comparison to others. I have always found that the way I...
WELCOME TO MEDICAL SCHOOL
As a high school student and even first year university student, I always remember being curious about what the medical school course looked like - sure it would consist of mostly theory in Phase One (Years 2 - 3) and Phases Two & Three (Years 4 - 6) would involve clinical attachments at various hospitals in the upper North Island, but if youâre anything like me, youâll crave a detailed breakdown of each part (yay for lists!). Hereâs what we study in Phase One (Years 2 - 3) of Medical School.
12 DAYS OF UNIVERSITY
Hello hello hello! After a year-long break from The Inside Word, I am back to enthral you all for another year! Literally nothing has changed since first year, except that I got my braces off and that I am now in Medical School!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Hey guys! It's me again! I thought I might share with you guys a snapshot into a week of uni! As you guys may know, the timetable between Uni and High school is really,really different. Often you may just have 2-3 classes a day, at most is probably 4. They are...
The Great â’s offered by FMHS
As I wait for my flight back to Christchurch (which as someone very,very conscious of time means arriving 3 hours early), I think I'll write about the amazing opportunities out there in the FMHSÂ (Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences). Here's a gorgeous view from...
Sem 2 and Looking to 2nd Yr
Hey guys! It's currently semester 2 (man, they weren't kidding when they said uni goes by fast) and I can't believe I've possibly just finished 1/6 of my degree!!! I thought I might mix up things, and talk about the great stuff we have uni (which has nothing to do...
