Hey friends!

I’m Ali. I’m a doctor working in the UK. I studied Medicine for 6 years at Cambridge University and graduated in 2018.

When I was younger and still studying at Uni, I started this company along with other five medicine students (thus the name 6med) started this company with the aim to help students to provide the best possible preparation to all types of students who want to apply to Medicine. Here at 6med, we help students applying to medical school with our Crash Courses and online question banks for the UCAT and BMAT. We’ve also created a pre-medical school course which offer holders can work through to make sure they’re fully prepared for medical school.

Our support helps thousands of students each year, and we give out tens of thousands of pounds in bursaries for students from low-income backgrounds.

(Before and) After graduating I’ve worked on several personal and professional projects. One of them is the podcast my brother and I host called Not Overthinking. Every Sunday we talk about topics related to ‘happiness, creativity and the human condition’.

On my personal website I write articles about productivity, entrepreneurship and generic life advice that I’ve found helpful over the years, as well as sharing my favourites apps and tech.

I also have a YouTube channel (which is great, you should totally subscribe) where I make videos about medicine, tech, productivity, and lifestyle.  Check out my most popular videos.
