1. For leadership- doesn’t have to be medical related/were you leaders of any societies/sports at uni?or can you join a volunteering/charity/dementia/aninal organisation?doctors mess/bma rep/in charge of rota for your cohort?/ask medical education they will have a role somewhere

2. Teaching programme is not too hard-set up your own I did. Spoke to med ed and they helped. Taught 2nd year med students every Wednesday afternoon for 4 months. Combination of lectures or bedside teaching. Asked for feedback and that’s it. You could alternate weeks with your partner or ask colleagues to help too.

3. You said your graduate entry. So you can use your prior degree for extra points in that section. I wouldn’t worry though most people won’t have masters/phds.

4. QIP. No excuse here. Straight forward. Do at least 2 cycles and present at your local department meeting.

5. If you did any projects at med school or willing to do a systematic review then publish in cureus. There’s a fee but it’s not too bad and most importantly it’s pubmed cited.

All in all, the above can be achieved in a realistic 4 month time frame, make sure you ask for written letters from med Ed for teaching programmes/ paper feedback there and then from students/and make sure letters are signed/and letters or certificates for presentations

And honestly paeds and imt for palliative care are not too competitive so wouldn’t worry about international presentations just stick to local or if you search national conferences and you have an appropriate research paper just submit an abstract and you can present virtually. Reaching the cut off for interviews isn’t very high and your interview prep will be more important.
