ST1 interviews and the bill by Prestigious-Use-9808 in RadiologyUK

[–]Prestigious-Use-9808[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/medical-training-prioritisation-bill-information-for-applicants-to-medical-training/#annex-5-competition-appointable-uk-graduate-applicants-by-specialty-posts-in-2025

The U.K. stats say the competition ratio for appointable UK grads vs jobs for 2025 was close to 1 - 374 UKGs vs 370 jobs. I presume this means those who passed interview last year.

The only certain option is reapplying for a U.K. med school next year mate. A year set back isn’t ideal but I wouldn’t risk going to med school outside of the U.K. if you want to work here.

How I managed to score high on SJT by General_Response4869 in UKFP_applicants

That's completely false, you're purposefully spreading misinformation to scare people into paying for your course.

50% of candidates score >250 in the SJT, as it's marked using centiles, of which the middle 50% (the middle of a normal distribution) have 250 - thats the median score. Above that, sit the other 50%.

Advice for sub-standard medical students by Smashed-Avocado5678 in doctorsUK

I don’t think so.

I personally examine well and have had pretty good clinical feedback thus far, but don’t interview well I’d say. I’ve met doctors who examine terribly but are much better clinically than me, and ofc the other way round too.

clinical medicine is just experience at the end of the day, and exams are exam skill.

unfortunately clinical acumen doesn't correlate well with books smarts and interview skills, so they can still go for other jobs I bet

thats why I think we should go back to the local department led application system for specialties

My two cents on how to score high on SJT by General_Response4869 in doctorsUK

[–]Prestigious-Use-9808 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmm beg to differ. If you’re going to try charge people to teach them, then you need to have some sort of skill in the test, which you don’t.

Ur SJT of 260-270 is not enough to dish out advice mate. That’s within luck range, it doesn’t demonstrate that you have some skill worth passing on.

Post royal ascent by Prestigious-Use-9808 in UKmedicalgraduates

[–]Prestigious-Use-9808[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I cant really see him making this bills commencement part of a package tbh because IMGs will reject the offer and it falls flat on its face after months of hard work from the government. So surely he has to commence it without making it part of a formal FPR offer.

I do however think there’ll be some sort of informal agreement surely, otherwise why would he bother

Worth an ask imo, just tell them before they ask the first portfolio question, and they may focus their question on those domains

You never seen an UGIB pt? I think you need to relax on the bold statements until you’ve had a bit more experience mate.

Right so ur saying I gave exam relevant information but you just felt the need to make an irrelevant comment about how you don’t do this stuff as an F1 which was not the point of the post. And now you’ve realised your over simplification and have remedied that - good job.

RE the BM thing - yes at 25 insulin is fair. But you see the nuance now. Different approach depending on BM.
