You have guided really well , i need assistance in same way for neurosurgery so can you please guide me or tell me about person who can guide me the same ?
Hello jack thank you for your very informative video. My question is regarding the evidence needed for evidence needed for each section. It is not very clear if they deanery requires all of the evidences for each section or just one. because for example, teaching (Section3) not everyone would have the feedback forms AND timetable AND a letter.
Hi, good question. You may not need all the evidence, but your aim is to ensure you put enough evidence in that the examiners can't refuse to give you points. For example, it looks much better if you provide the teaching timetable, feedback and confirmation letter, rather than just a letter on its own. Sometimes examiners will not award points if there is not enough evidence. You essentially want to reassure them that you actually did the thing you claimed.
Hey! your videos have been super helpful! I did a training new human rights trainee course in 2016 while I was in med school would that count for trainers course do you think? or is that too old. I do have a certificate for it and it was run my Austrian medical school association. Also do you have resources for case reports and how to write them/write them well? Thanks!
Hi Jack, thank you for the video. very helpful! I'm submitting my application this week for ST1. Would it be a problem if I only submitted signed letters from a consultant to confirm my teaching and audit work?
Hi, you may get away with just the letters of confirmation, however you don't want to give them any doubt about whether you did them. If you have done an audit, then you must have data somewhere and may have presented it at a departmental meeting, so include your presentation or write a short summary of the audit and results. For teaching, you should have some teaching feedback from the students or perhaps an email from whoever was in charge of the teaching (e.g. a medical school). If you have teaching presentations that you used, include those. Good luck for the application!
For those who are IMGs, there is some difference between who did a non training job directly vs who did an FY2 stand-alone? Thank you so much for your content
Hi jack, Im an IMG, my question is about "exposure to radiology", by doing an observership in radiology department for 2 weeks considered equal to taster week? or its better to get a junior fellow job in radiology to get significant exposure ?
I have neither received distinction in any subject nor did I participate in any conference during my Undergraduate does that mean I have no chance of getting into Radiology training? I'm an IMG btw. Please reply 🙏
please, if one is already doing specialty training outside the uk in nuclear medecine ward, would that be considered significant exposure to radiology work of 10 points in the domain of commitment to specialty ?
Hi Jack, really informative video. I am an Indian doctor, planing to apply for radiology training in UK. Could you please let me know if the audits, taster weeks and other research activity can be done outside UK too, in my case in India??
Hi Jack, do you know when the portfolio evidence collection needs to be commenced? Do you have to do everything after graduating med school or can it all be done before graduating. For eg, could I organise teaching and training before med school as a sonographer and it still count?
Hi Jack, apologies but I am confused because you mentioned that the intercalated degrees (eg. BSc) has been removed. Am I correct to think that an intercalated MSc will also not get more points? Thank you for your time!
Hi, I see - the wording in the scoring criteria is a bit confusing. An MSc is a postgraduate degree by definition. But then if they say intercalated degrees are not allowed, that becomes confusing. I would only do an MSc if you have a strong desire for academic training. don’t use up a year of your life just to get points, you can earn points in other ways quicker, in my opinion. I guess it’s up to you if you want to do the MSc of course
