Living away from home, need support to study.
As a South Asian student with lived experience of immigration, carer responsibilities, chronic and mental illness, who works multiple jobs to support themselves, candidate found much of the medical course inaccessible. The full-time load left little room for other commitments, and sensitive topics were often handled poorly by faculty.
