IDENTICAL TWINS WILL AND ALEX CARROLL-ADAMS HAVE BEEN REUNITED AT SWANSEA UNIVERSITYMEDICAL SCHOOL AS THEY BOTH PURSUE THEIR AMBITIONS TO BECOME A DOCTOR.
Will, who is in his fourth and final year of our Graduate Entry Medicine course has now been joined by Alex, who has just begun his studies. Both of the 27-year-old twins discovered their passion for their future profession after completing non- medical degrees. Will, who gained a BSc in Anthropology, said: “Ihadalways regretted not doing medicine and then during my degree I found I really enjoyed forensic anthropology, studying the skeleton and looking at bones. I hadn’t realised that anthropology might be something that could still lead me into medicine until I found out more about graduate entry medicine.”
Gradually Alex began to consider following in Will’s footsteps. “After spending so much time together growing up, we never planned to end up in the same place but coincidentally we are both here Swansea,” said Alex, who gained a BA in primary education. Professor Kamila Hawthorne, Head of Graduate Entry Medicine, adds “Both Will and Alex demonstrate that there is more than one way to become a doctor. The most important thing applicants and students can learn is the art of listening to, and really caring for, the patients they meet with respect and compassion”
