KNUST Medical School – How To Get Admission Into The School Of Medicine

Want to get into the KNUST Medical School right after your undergraduate programme? Here are tips on how to get admission to the KNUST Medical School.

Medicine is available at Kwame Nkrumah University Of Science And Technology. In 1975, the School of Medicine (SMS) was founded.

SMS’s vision is to be internationally recognized as Africa’s premier center of excellence in medical science teaching, research, professional and academic training. Medical school admissions are extremely competitive at KNUST and throughout Ghana. Here are the top seven tips from doctors and medical students to help you prepare.

1. Gain A Medical Experience 

Job shadowing with doctors and other healthcare providers is an excellent way to learn more about the industry. Candidates with actual patient-care experience are not required by admissions committees. After all, you aren’t a doctor yet.

They do, however, want to know that you’ve done your homework on your potential career. Job shadowing is a great way to gain medical experience, but you can also find non-shadowing opportunities.

You should do some soul-searching and spend time with people who have the job you want. Most doctors are eager to meet with students who are thinking about a career in medicine.

2. Serve More

Dr. Carlson participated in the Big Brothers-Big Sisters program. Joseph felt the same way. Rake leaves, construct an accessibility ramp, clean the beach, and take a dog for a walk. There are numerous non-clinical volunteer opportunities that demonstrate your willingness to pay it forward and give back.

Doctors are generally altruistic people, and medical schools want to see that you care about your community or have a strong desire to help others. Community service can take many forms, and anything that requires some unpaid time for a good cause qualifies, from trash cleanup and mentorship programs to working the concession stand at a charity fund-raiser.

3. Read A Major You Can Easily Excel

Grades aren’t everything, but they are crucial. Select a field of study that will result in a competitive CWA at KNUST.

4. Engage In More Research Project

“Undergraduate research experience really shines through on medical school applications,” says one applicant. Most medical schools want students who are interested in research and have already gotten their feet wet, and KNUST is no exception.

5. Study Well For The Entrance Exams

Take a class, purchase books, and study on your own. Discover the method that works best for you. Take practice tests frequently and don’t let your practice scores frighten you.

You can study with the Kaplan book series by reading, highlighting, and taking notes.

6. Cope Well In The Interview

Do more research on Knust, Knust medical school, and mission statements so you have information about the institution to share during the interview. Practice responding to interview questions. When you arrive for the interview, be courteous to everyone you meet, including the receptionist.

• Schools invest in students and seek a good fit.
• Schools want to know what kind of student and person you are.

7. Why Do You Want To Become A Medical Doctor?

Avoid canned responses like “I want to help people.” There is no single correct answer. Make your point. Tell us about your experience.
