Do MedSc if you wish to work in hospitals for specimens preparation, diagnostic testing and analysis. You may also become a research assistant in labs from universities or research institutes. Some of my friends have became technical staff (which answers technical enquires from scienctists) with chemical and scientific product companies. You can become a sales representative for a company that promotes scientific products and equipments (because you need to have a good science background). You may also decide to stay in university and teach. Finally, BMedSc is an excellent degree to prepare you for postgraduate studies, like Masters and PhDs.

I know a few people who are studying MedSci. Most of the students enrolled in the course are using it as a stepping stone to transfer to Pharmacy, Medicine, etc.

That's unfortunately. 
Why was this bad? I thought it would be a good career move for those who likes a commerce-type job with an interest in science. Although the company does put a lot of pressure on sales rep because there is so much competition from other companies.

Hi jessi90. There are approximately 180 newly-enrolled MedSc students each year.
well you dont really expect to get a sales job from this degree hey? lol.Survivor39 said:That's unfortunately.
she thought that she would be doing more research, however, all she did was update product details and take the odd sales call.
on the other hand one of my mates is also doing MedSc and is using it to leverage himself into medicine. so there is many possibilities.

Well not really, because as we've said time and time again, just because you get into MedSc does not mean you're going to get into medicine, whether it's a transfer or Post Grad.mimiian said:
People doing the degree because they think it's a quick way into medicine give me the shits, it doesn't work like that. And I would think if they actually knuckled down and did the degree, they'd find it's a great degree.
Secondly to whoever's sister was a sales rep. She didn't just magically poof into a sales rep. She had to apply or request the position, and even if she didn't want to be a sales rep, there are oodles and oodles of jobs out there for MedSc students that don't involve selling shit.

Well it's obviously better than doing education or arts if your aim is to get back into medicine. It's the next best thing you could do. Not saying it's a ticket to medicine.
