👋 Who We Are
Welcome to The Med Den — where real doctors and teachers help future medics thrive.
🩺 Dr Omar Shabir (NHS GP, Co-founder)
Hi, I’m Omar — a UK-trained GP with a background in both medicine and dental school interview success. I’ve trained in Hull, Grimsby, and currently practise in Leeds, where I also mentor junior doctors, physician associates, and nurses.
What I’ve learned is this: great guidance should be accessible, affordable, and human. That’s why I started The Med Den — to offer the kind of support I wish existed when I applied to medical school.
