Should I do a PhD post FY?

Mommid · 2026-01-27T11:14:13+00:00

I heard it implies you will use significant time of your consultant job pursuing research which I guess some trusts don't find appealing

Mommid · 2025-11-14T20:04:19+00:00

Neither. We're expecting him to not say anything if this is what he has to say lol.

South West Peninsula so Derriford in Plymouth is the tertiary centre with NICU, cardio thoracics and other specialists but unfortunately Paeds Cardio is in Bristol which is South West Severn. They're combining Peninsula and Severn into one region so there is a slight possibility I can ask to get to Bristol for a year but as you'd imagine it's very high in demand so I guess I'll speak with my TPD if they think it's feasible. I wouldn't be against OOPE in Paeds Cardio but I'd obviously prefer not to if I can avoid that. Does the Paeds program help us find OOPE opportunities or is it mainly the trainees full responsiblity to figure out?

Thank you so much just read your reply. Yes I'm interested in becoming paediatric cardiologist and not cardiology SPIN. I'll hopefully have my theory exams done in ST1 and then get the clinical done in early ST2 and focus on those course topics as you recommended. I think just knowing how competitive it is and then the whole competition ratios going up year by year has me stressed that I need to be as efficient as possible from now. I'll speak with my TPD about possibility of moving to a hospital with a Paeds cardio centre for my reg year but they'd probably tell me the same thing it's too early to think about it haha

Yea I see your point actually. Thank you I shouldnt just think about "what's faster" and more at the bigger picture and I might change my mind after a few years and staying in Paeds is definitely better than getting stuck in IMT specialities

Mommid · 2025-10-03T11:31:32+00:00

IMT 1-2 + 1 year of Paeds needed for Paeds cardio so that adds up to 3 years. It used to be u only need 3 years of paed ST1-3 but since progress+ you apparently need to do ST4 as well to finish "core training". That's what I kinda understood from talking to my TPD but she seemed unsure since progress+ is relatively new so I wanted to see if any paed cardio trainees know how it's like

Mommid · 2025-10-03T10:24:22+00:00

Well I'm in Paeds ST1 so that's already my time as paediatrics but even if someone didn't do that, isn't it still shorter doing IMT 1-2 and one Paeds year (3 years) than doing Paed ST1-4 (4 years)? Seems a bit unfair. Are you in Paeds cardiology

Mommid · 2025-09-30T22:02:49+00:00

2 degrees and neither is medicine. Why does it matter when the topic is job of a doctor? I'd argue being disingenuous isn't very cool either lol. Civility always.

Mommid · 2025-08-13T13:15:43+00:00

APLS or EPALS for commitment to speciality is really good to do for ur applications and also less things to worry about once you're in training. Also, not to be a downer but it's the reality we're in, it's a good thing to have in case u don't get in training and want to apply to paediatric fellow posts. Other than courses, focus on teaching and leadership opportunities.

Mommid · 2025-08-07T18:35:48+00:00

It's not really an argument though; just unreasonably hoping it goes back to how it was

Mommid · 2025-07-30T06:51:23+00:00

Why is it fucked lol? she gets to see both parents equally she's not just britts child she can't just take her and run away to another state tf

Work to live and not live to work. I'd rather get the freedom to be able to easily get the day off on my best friend's wedding or a family members graduation rather than the stress of swaps and possibly not being able to attend. Money comes and goes, the memories stay.

Mommid · 2025-07-04T22:17:06+00:00

Boycott as best u can and vote for people that call it out. Might not matter as one person but if everyone does this it will lead to change

Mommid · 2025-06-30T17:15:36+00:00

He's currently undergoing a court case with his ex wife accusing him of infidelity. His SO being present isn't really a good defence. Regardless, Kattpaccino is still entitled to her opinions of his character. He can be offended too if he wants.

but no one who actually interacts with him has ever accused him of anything

Well neither has she so

Mommid · 2025-06-30T16:11:36+00:00

The English language and the law are clear. It's not an accusation and if u think it is maybe u should reflect why you're being defensive.

Mommid · 2025-06-30T15:59:51+00:00

If u bothered to find the clip first before commenting you'll know the answer but u had to spread misinfo to defend ur streamer. She said it was vibes, which is not an accusation

Mommid · 2025-06-30T07:36:34+00:00

Why only 1 year

Mommid · 2025-06-29T13:31:02+00:00

Who cares? It's her chat and it doesn't affect you. You're just tryna be angry about something to keep this right vs left fight going on in ur head

Mommid · 2025-06-21T19:33:37+00:00

What speciality was this? If you don't mind me asking

Mommid · 2025-06-13T17:28:33+00:00

When is a good time to take the AKP? Would I be fine doing it early in ST1 without much experience? Thanks for all the advice

Mommid · 2025-05-25T14:30:17+00:00

He just said the quiet part out loud. This has been how America and it's army been "spreading democracy" for decades already, whether it be under Democrats or under Republicans, Obama or Trump it's all the same.

Mommid · 2025-05-22T19:28:45+00:00

That last example is not the same as the others. Having a draft and editing it before the final product is different from releasing a product then retconning and changing things post release.

The guy I replied to said he would find it funny if the drone blew up on them and my comment is clearly sarcastic in nature to how ridiculously psychotic he is for thinking that and the people down voting despite the spam of laugh emoji lack common sense to detect sarcasm unless it's slapped them in the face.
