==基本資料結束==
首先，這間學校在臺灣不是有名的學校，據校方的人員表示臺灣生大概只有5~6個人。
當初會申請這是因為，我要做的東西在臺灣也是很冷很冷～冷到不行的科別。
到院前的緊急醫療（Emergency Medical Service），沒有選擇美國的原因是，
在蒐集資料的過程當中，發現美國也慢慢的往歐洲靠攏，所以選擇英國來就讀。
一開始一直碰壁～因為EMS在英國也不算是一個『顯學』雖然很多人都使用過
英國裡面有所謂的Health Service Research來研究Pre-hospital的EMS 研究
但是在寫信跟老師討論的過程當中，其中一間學校（Sheffield）的老師推薦我
在Coventry Prehospital Emergency Cardiovascular Care Centre（全英唯一）的
Malcolm Woollard老師，在與Malcolm 老師討論過之後他願意收我當學生
所以之後的申請一直很順利

==心得==
PhD的申請與有沒有老師要收你有很大的關係。
把寫好的Proposal跟CV先寄去給你有興趣的老師看～
如果老師願意收你當學生，通常都不會有太大的問題。

我申請的東西太冷門，所以沒有幾間學校可以申請。
Coventry University (研究中心設在護理系下面)
Hertsfordshire University 設有Paramedic Science學系（所）
Sheffield University的Health Service Research

但是Sheffield的比較偏向政策面的東西。我做的是教育面的東西～
所以後來沒申請。Herts則是因為，寫信去都沒人理我～所以就...算拉=.=a

大概是這樣。
