Hi guys, Akshay here. I have not posted in a while as I was caught up with my university admissions paperwork but am more free nowadays and hope to actively contribute to this blog. Personally, I have developed a keen interest in Cancer and endocrinology and my posts would predominantly be focused on the issues surrounding these branches of medicine. My interest stems from my A-level Biology days when I found the topics of cancer and specifically the pancreas particularly interesting. I expanded on my interest by reading books such as ‘The Emperor of All Maladies’ which I found to be intellectually stimulating. I would be posting articles on the scientific basis of cancer and endocrinology as I really like the pathology and biochemistry behind these. However, I do acknowledge that I may not be aware of all the scientific minutiae involved and your comments will be greatly appreciated in refining my knowledge.

Hi guys, my name is Akshay, I’m from Singapore and I’m a new guest blogger. I have completed my A levels and am planning to apply to UK for medicine during my gap year. I first came to know about this provision of writing for Valuemed from a medical student who previously wrote for Valuemed. I was immediately keen on writing as a guest blogger not only for the purpose of gaining a deeper insight into medicine but also to keep up to date with the latest news in the medical world. I would like to thank Kate for giving me this opportunity and will write more on medical news in the near future. Cheers

Hi everyone it’s Futuremedic1 here!

I am a new guest blogger on this site and I thought I’d tell you all a little about myself. I’m a prospective medical student who is hoping to go to medical school next year (2013). My current interests in medicine lie in the fields of oncology and cardiology, although of course that is liable to change as I explore other branches of medicine. As for work experience, I have undertaken a couple of weeks in my local hospital and have also spent time at a scientific research lab. I hope that you will read and enjoy my posts, and please feel free to ask me any questions.
