Biography

Dr Tim Card was rejected from Medical Schools in Leicester, Leeds, London, and Oxford at age 17. However, Bristol kindly allowed him to study there. After graduation, he failed to get jobs to be trained as a gastroenterologist in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Nottingham, Bristol, and Cambridge among others, but finally got a job in the Oxford region. Nottingham belatedly accepted him as a Wellcome Training Fellow in Clinical Epidemiology, and he returned as Clinical associate Professor when he qualified.
