Writing essays as a medical student | Dyslexia at Medical School

Hey! I'm a senior medical student at King's College London. I am also dyslexic. This seems to confuse people sometimes, and I think many people wonder: How do you manage medical schools exams and essays? Wait, what even is dyslexia? This video continues on from last week's video about my experience of being a dyslexic medical student. Today we'll talk about essay writing! A little about dyslexia Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that affects approximately 10% of the global population. Primarily it affects skills involved in the accurate understanding, reading, spelling and writing of words. However, dyslexia does not only impact these skills. It can impact information processing, including memory and organisation. This can be written, heard or remembered information. That is not to say that people with dyslexia are affected negatively. Different does not mean worse. There can be many positives to thinking differently, which many dyslexic people will attest to. It can lead to strengths in creativity, reasoning and problem solving. Dyslexia occurs across a full range of intellectual abilities, and does not affect an individual's IQ. I would really encourage anyone reading to learn more about dyslexia. I recommend the British Dyslexia Association(https://www.bdadyslexia.org.uk/) and Dyslexia Support in Medical Training (https://www.gmc-uk.org/education/stan...) (GMC). ---- Who am I? ---- I am Connor, a fourth year medical student at King's College London. I make videos on studying, medical school and lifestyle. New YouTube videos go up every Sunday.
