heartbreaking💔 the university shouldn’t of let it escalate to this?!!
Poor lad got to the end of third year , so was obviously capable of something, yet was given 4/5 weeks notice for an exam he failed – failed and was withdrawn over email. So many medical schools in England allow you to resit a year without extenuating circumstances eg Kings College, EU countries like Bulgaria , your allowed unlimited sits as long as you pay , the same drs practicing in this country yet this poor lad was withdrawn without a resit yr . What would he have lost from a resit yr?
Why didn’t Birmingham just give him a year to resit , support him and ask him what support he needs as often 3rd year is the first clinical yr making a change to the style of learning . Such a tragic loss
Drs get 6 attempts for post graduate exams albeit harder so why wasn’t this kid allowed a 3rd opportunity or an extra year , why is there such a difference in medical schools in this country where some let you resit a yr regardless of reason yet Birmingham don’t. So many current Drs will have had to resit a yr just a shame this young man wasn’t given a chance. After a whole yr resitting but 4/5 weeks notice for a resit which he failed doesn’t sit right for me.
He chose to go to this school – you have to follow the script.
