Isaac Ng

  • MPhil Population Health Sciences (Epidemiology), University of Cambridge.
  • MBBS, King's College London.
  • Medicine offers from Glasgow, HKU (half scholarship), and CUHK (full scholarship with direct Year 2 entry and honours at entrance).
  • UCAT 3110 (Top 2%). 6 A* at A-Level, with full marks in Mathematics.
  • GMC Education Associate. Former admissions interviewer, King's College London School of Medicine.
  • Honorary Researcher, Addenbrooke's Hospital, Cambridge.
  • Published across 5 peer-reviewed journals. Springer Nature book chapter.
  • NHS Clinical Entrepreneur. Co-lead, AI medical education platform.

Isaac sits on GMC quality assurance reviews of UK medical schools as an Education Associate. The work includes on-site visits, staff and student interviews, and accreditation reports. At King's College London, he previously sat on the MBBS admissions panel, interviewing applicants and scoring them against the criteria that candidates now prepare for. He knows how applications are assessed because he has assessed them.

At Cambridge, his MPhil research investigates why patients are more likely to die when emergency departments are overcrowded. He is an Honorary Researcher at Addenbrooke's Hospital, finishing the MPhil before returning to King's College London to complete the MBBS. His published work spans 5 peer-reviewed journals, with a book chapter from Springer Nature. He co-leads an AI-powered medical education platform developed with educators, clinicians, and NHS partners, backed by competitive grant funding from King's College London and active randomised controlled trials.

He co-founded AlphaMED in 2022 to build a medicine admissions practice grounded in first-hand experience of both UK and Hong Kong systems, and informed by direct knowledge of how medical schools select their students.

Adelaide Pang, AlphaMED co-founder and Imperial College London medicine

Adelaide Pang

  • MBBS/BSc, Imperial College London. Intercalating in Cardiovascular Sciences.
  • Medicine offers from Glasgow, HKU (half scholarship), and CUHK (full scholarship with direct Year 2 entry and honours at entrance).
  • UCAT 3140 (Top 1%). 6 A* at A-Level, with an EPQ at A*.
  • Contributing author, Medicine in a Day (Elsevier).
  • First place, AMSC Thailand 2025. Director of Clinical Studies Award, West Middlesex Hospital.
  • Collaborator, NANSIG national TIA audit across the UK and Northern Ireland.
  • Welsh National Debate Team. Finalist, Cambridge Schools Debating Championships.

Adelaide reads medicine at Imperial, intercalating in Cardiovascular Sciences. She applied to UK and Hong Kong medicine in parallel, taking offers and scholarships from both sides, and chose Imperial. That dual-application journey is the exact process she now coaches students through at AlphaMED.

Adelaide wrote the gastroenterology and cardiothoracic chapters of the Elsevier textbook Medicine in a Day. Her own research investigates two questions: whether urban air pollution is driving out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, and whether virtual reality simulation can prepare doctors for mass casualty events before they encounter one in practice. She is a collaborator on a national NHS audit through NANSIG, tracking how quickly rapid-access clinics see patients after suspected mini-strokes across the UK and Northern Ireland.

Before medicine, she represented Wales at the national level in debating, reaching the finals at the Cambridge Schools Debating Championships and placing second at Oxford's. That training in structured argument, composure, and thinking under pressure runs directly through her approach to interview coaching.

Jason Cho, AlphaMED Oxbridge and graduate-entry mentor, Oxford, Cambridge and UCL alumni

Jason Cho

  • Graduate Entry Medicine, University of Oxford. One of only a handful of international places offered each year.
  • MPhil Biological Science (Pathology), University of Cambridge.
  • BSc Biochemistry, University College London. First Class Honours, first in cohort.
  • UCAT 2440/2700 (Top 2%). 900/900 Quantitative Reasoning.
  • 4 A* at A-Level. Further medicine offer from KCL.
  • UCL Undergraduate Scholarship for Excellence. Sir Jack Drummond Prize. UK Microbiology Society Prize.
  • Co-author, peer-reviewed publication in Biomedicines.

Jason reads Graduate Entry Medicine at the University of Oxford. For 2026 entry, 8 international applicants received an offer at Oxford medicine out of a pool of 210. Roughly 1 in 26. Jason was one of them. He secured that place through a selection process he now helps others navigate.

Before Oxford, he completed an MPhil at the University of Cambridge, where his research asks how aggressive blood cancers manage to hide from the diagnostic tests designed to catch them.

Jason graduated first in his cohort from UCL's Biochemistry programme with First Class Honours, earning the Undergraduate Scholarship for Excellence (one award per UCL faculty), the Sir Jack Drummond Prize for best second-year student, the Margaret Kerly Award, the UK Microbiology Society Prize, and a place on the Dean's List.

At AlphaMED, Jason coaches Oxbridge interviews and graduate entry applications. He knows what Oxford panels expect because he sat in front of one, as an international applicant, and got in.

Hanifah Kabir, AlphaMED interview specialist, UCL medicine

Hanifah Kabir

  • MBBS, University College London. Fifth year.
  • Intercalated BSc in Women's Health, UCL.
  • Interviewed at 4 medical schools. Offers from every one: UCL, KCL, Sheffield, and Southampton.
  • Reduced offer from Southampton on the strength of her interview performance.
  • Course lead across national medicine admissions programmes. Coaching medical school interviews since 2022.

Since 2022, Hanifah has coached medicine applicants through MMI and panel interviews, delivering over 500 hours of structured preparation across national admissions programmes. She works with applicants at every stage, from first practice through to final preparation.

Her own admissions record is the proof point. Of 4 medical schools that interviewed her, all 4 made offers. Southampton lowered her grade requirement on interview performance alone.

She reads medicine at UCL, where she is in her fifth year, having intercalated in Women's Health. At AlphaMED, Hanifah focuses exclusively on interview preparation. She has spent more hours in mock interview rooms than most applicants will spend preparing for the real thing.
