Well, here I am to answer all your questions
For clarification's sake, my background.
Pre-tertiary (a very long time ago): predominantly 'arts' subjects. English, Creative Writing, English Lit, and Psychology, etc.
Tertiary: Psychology, Psychology, and more Psychology, a little bit of Sociology, a little bit of Law, and a little bit of Journalism (coz, why not?!). With some more recent Psychology and Epidemiology thrown in during a PGDip.
Employment: Hospital-based allied health.
Extra context: Prior to this year, I'd never heard the term
organelle
Currently: First year Medicine, and I am doing really, really (really!) well thanks! Even in molecular biology and genetics subjects! And histology and pharmacology and immunology and microbiology. But also in medical ethics, and population health, and communication skills, and nutrition, and examination skills, and essay writing, and class participation, and giving presentations. And also in time management and stress management and uni/life(/MSO*) balance.
I think, for many people, there is a perception of medicine being a science-only subject, but it is really, really not. For example, UTAS divides the curriculum into four domains. Only ONE of them is strictly 'hard science-based'. The others are incredibly diverse and have nothing to do with whether you know your CD8s from your CD4s.
If you have any other questions about studying medicine with a non-science background, feel free to ask them.
*with the exception of when UMAT results were released, coz, well, #favetimeoftheyear
