Read Conor's full profile"Birmingham is an exciting city and University. I’d wholeheartedly recommend the University of Birmingham to study Medicine. It has great early exposure to practical and clinical skills, lots of great research and mentorship opportunities, and it will set you up great for your clinical career. For me the Queen Elizabeth and Royal Orthopaedic Hospitals were inspiring and were what influenced me to get into Trauma Surgery from the offset."
