                ABOUT ME
                 Hi everyone, I am Tash (aka Tash The Medic) and I
                 am a med student at King's College London. I am just
                 about to start my intercalated year in Primary
                 Care.
                 I set up my Instagram page at the end of April and I
                 use this platform to share tips to get into medical
                 School, how to thrive at medical school and
                 advocate about mental health.
   I have made this guide to share some (hopefully) useful info for anybody starting med
   school in September or for any current med student looking for some guidance.
   Please do share this booklet with your friends and let me know your feedback on it.
   Please follow me on my socials:

       One final thing: this guide is 100% free and everything I do to help with 
      getting into medical school and the transition to medical school is and always
       will be. But if you are appreciative of this guide and want to buy me a coffee
