Rachael Faye Hill

Rachael Faye Hill (born 27 July 1988) was recently announced as being the youngest ever to graduate from medical school in the United Kingdom, aged 21 years and 351 days. She is due to graduate from Manchester Medical School in July 2010. John William Polidori was two years younger when he received his degree as a doctor of medicine on 1 August 1815 "at the unusually early age of 19".
Biography
Born in Blackpool, Lancashire, Hill was educated at Colegio Hispano Britanico in Lanzarote, Canary Islands, where she obtained 13 IGCSEs at the age of 13. It was at this point that she continued her A-Level education at the same institution where she obtained 2 A's and 2 B's at the age of 15 in chemistry, biology, mathematics and physics respectively.
Hill then began applying for medical school at the age of 15; however she found some difficulty in securing a place due to the minimum age requirement being 17 years old before one can begin. Undeterred, she decided to work for the National Health Service in Cardiff, South Wales, as an Overseas Patient Officer before again applying for a place at medical school once she had reached the required age.
Hill was born to Jane Burke and Steven Hill, and has two brothers, Samuel Hill and Joseph Hill.
Post medical school
Hill is due to begin her first house officer placement at the Royal Preston Hospital in Preston, Lancashire, where she hopes to specialise in Paediatrics once her two year foundation period has ended.
