The Ultimate Career Guide

'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.' 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!'
