Getting Into Speciality Training

Getting into Specialty Training is written for all junior doctors applying for specialty training (ST) posts. It guides applicants through the challenges posed by the application process, including academic achievements; teaching and learning; professional integrity; teamwork and leadership skills; clinical prioritization and time management. There are sections covering ST interviews and applications, how to make yourself a more competitive applicant, specialty-specific questions with good and bad example answers and a useful 'what next?' section, with invaluable advice on what to do if things don't go to plan.
Written in an accessible, engaging and step-by-step style, this practical handbook arms candidates with the tools needed to help successfully cross this important career hurdle.
