The bundle gives you the Interview Guide and Get Into UK Medicine, our step-by-step guide to the whole UK medicine application, for £29.99 instead of £39.98. It's ideal if you haven't applied yet. If you only need interview help, the Interview Guide on its own is everything you need.
Because the guide is digital content you get immediate access to, you're asked at checkout to agree that the 14-day right to cancel ends once your access begins. This doesn't affect your other rights: if anything is faulty or not as described, email info@mentorify.co.uk and we'll put it right. See our Terms.
@selfmademedics is run by Addy, a 4th-year medical student at Imperial College London. Together with Mentorify we run free webinars for medicine applicants, and this guide brings our interview experience together in one place.
