Review :
A perfect guide to the perfect portfolio 'Honestly a must have for medical students. I'm in my 3rd year and had lots of questions about how we progress beyond our degree, and this book answered questions I didn't even know I needed to ask! I hadn't realised how early we need to start thinking about future career choices - simply put, the earlier we start the better our chances - and this book is the perfect guide on how to prepare and build our portfolio. Not only useful for the university years, it is also targeted at FY1 and FY2 doctors in preparation for speciality training, as well as giving accounts and direction for other non-hospital based medical careers, such as expert witness or armed forces.' Amazon reviewer Buy this book. I wish this existed when I started medical school! 'My first thought when reading this book is that I wished I'd have had it from the start of medical school. It is written in such a clear and fantastic way, demystifying lots of subjects you hear other students/Drs talking about but not really understanding it. It is also brilliant in terms setting useful and worthwhile goals, and gives you so many tips which save you a lot of time in the future e.g. organistion/CV writing. It has also made me aware of so many extra things you can do along side medical school that improve your skills and can make you stand out, in addition to how to get involved with them. I honestly feel like this should be something that every student reads in their first year at University! The insight from current Doctors in the book is invaulable. I cannot recommend it enough. Thank you for writing such an informative and incredibly useful book!' Amazon reviewer An excellent informative guide on the progression of the career beyond Medical School 'This book is exceptionally written and provides key, important information and the things to be aware of when it comes to application processes for core medical/surgical training, run through training and also gives some accounts by people who have taken on less well known medical careers such as roles in pharmaceutical companies, medico-legal careers, and working in the armed forces. It offers valuable advice throughout each aspect it covers and also includes recommendations to those considering taking a FY3 before entering a training programme.' Amazon reviewer A book that all medical students and doctors should have 'This book has everything I need to know regarding my future medical career and how to achieve them. I'm currently working as a FY1 and this book gives me an in-depth understanding and insight of each path that I could take and how to maximise my portfolio for the specialties. At the moment I am unsure what I want to specialise in, and this book is perfect for me as it navigates through different aspects and specialties requirements in details, including working as a doctor abroad! The book also discusses pros and cons of the career pathways, including alternative careers such as army, military, entrepreneurship and etc. This is an excellent book that has everything all in one place; definitely must-read for all medical students and doctors!' Amazon reviewer Reviews from students and trainees: “Having had experience of trying to research many of the topics covered in this guide, I can wholeheartedly say that it is challenging to find what you are looking for. I would have benefitted massively from such a guide had it been available to me sooner.” “Many of the topics in this guide I was entirely unaware of until well into foundation training. There is no other resource with all of this information in one place, which I feel will give its readers a massive advantage.” “This is the first book I have come across that tackles the issues of how to progress in medicine once you have graduated. The order of the chapters is very logical. The syntax was very easy to read, without lots of jargon. This guide has answered a lot of questions I have been struggling to answer!” “This guide is exactly what I and countless medical students need. It has really helped me to understand the whole recruitment system and how to plan ahead before I miss certain opportunities. I have learnt so much from reading this guide.” “This guide allows medical students to be more informed about career planning. Particularly, the different steps and different opportunities that are available.” “The information provided is academically sound and very relevant. The text is very clear to read and easy to follow. The authors have done exceptionally well.”
