Hey 👋

So glad to see you! Let’s take a look at how we can help 😋

 

👨🏽‍⚕️Who am I?

My name’s Shaene and I’m a 🏥Junior Doctor in Oxford, 🏛a Cambridge Uni grad and 🧠neuroscience supervisor. I produce content about medicine🩺, productivity⏰, science🔬 and fitness🏃‍♂️ here and over on my 📺YouTube channel. I also VLOG my life as a junior doctor👨🏽‍⚕️. I love all that I do and I want to build a community where we all help each-other to learn better together and do the best we can! 😁

Subscribe to be the first to know about new content and receive exclusive information, advice and guidance! I’d love for you to join our community and learn better together!

🩺What’s askCamDoc?

I created askCamDoc as an outlet to share content about medicine, study tips and productivity. I use evidence-based content, as well as my personal experiences and lessons I've learnt to help everyone learn better together! My aim is to create accessible content for students, medics, and all those interested in science, health & fitness.

For medics especially, I, alongside a team of Cambridge student doctors, are going to share our stories and lessons to help you in the process of applying to medicine and deal with life as a medical student when you get there. Say goodbye to wasted time and to starting each year cluelessly! We’re here to make sure you have a flying start each year and get the best advice at every turn.

⚙️How to Use this Website

The Blog will feature new topics on study tips, productivity, scientific topics, health & fitness. Check out my YouTube channel for videos on all the topics!

For medics, the Guidance will cover things like how best to approach each year, how to organise your time, how to get involved with research, how to build an outstanding CV and how to plan the best elective. Alongside this, I’ll suggest high yield Resources to use and what to prioritise. I’ll also be sharing Lessons on important preclinical and clinical topics to help you ace your exams and become the best doctor you can be.

 

🎯Guidance

Before starting each year or important task, hover over Guidance and find the relevant info-post series. For example, if you’re starting your clinicals, click on Clinical under the Guidance tab. Or if you’re looking to develop your CV, click on the CV page under the Guidance tab. Once you’ve clicked on the relevant info-post series, you’ll find posts as titled below.

Introduction: The gateway to the topic.

My story: The inspiration. My own personal experience with the topic as a medical student, including the challenges I faced, how I overcame them and what I learnt for the future, as well as any funny stories.

The Guide: The crux of the matter. Here I create an easy to follow, no-nonsense guide based on my experiences, conversations with doctors, colleagues and friends.

The FAQs: The frequently asked questions. I’ll compile a list of FAQs and answer them as best I can; feel free to send me your own questions, I’ll be more than happy to answer them. 

Visit my YouTube channel for videos on all the topics, including both My Story and The Guide!

📝Lessons

I, alongside a team of Cambridge student doctors, have used our combined experience to create lessons on important preclinical and clinical topics to help you ace your exams and become the best doctor you can be. Find these by hovering over the Lessons tab and navigating to your desired section. The lessons, cover “how to write essays”, “how to take the perfect history”, “how to present”, “how to make the most out of ward rounds”, “how to write the perfect CV” and many more!

📚Resources

Deciding on what resources to use and invest in can be very daunting. Here, I’ve simplified things and purposefully suggest the most high-yield resources for each subject. Want to know how to approach learning psychiatry? No problem! Hover over the Resources tab and navigate to Clinical and find posts covering: Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics, Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Psychiatry and many more. The same is available for Pre-Clinical subjects like anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology and so on. I’ve provided direct links to each resource both websites and textbooks to make life that little bit easier.
