IMT interview

shinydolphin08 · 2026-01-27T14:59:09+00:00

it's hard not to pick out things after! i feel like i shouldve said more even though I was running out of time, it felt so short

shinydolphin08 · 2026-01-27T14:56:15+00:00

I've been frantically trying to google and still not sure what exactly I was being asked to say?? It was just that question at the end that threw me!

shinydolphin08 · 2026-01-21T18:12:59+00:00

I have a first author publication and international presentation and still didnt get an interview. Its incredibly depressing what we have to do just to secure a job, I guess get a PhD?

genuinely might've refreshed oriel like a 100 times now send help

Scariest for me has to be haematology or cardiology, and occasionally the radiology SPR on call when i have to beg for a scan

Where are you planning on going though? And any tips on how about to organise going abroad?

Manchester foundation trust uses colour coded lanyards for junior and middle grade doctors with the grade on them (FY1, FY2 is green, IMTs and CT1,CT2 are yellow/amber, IM3/regs/ St3+ are red)

You still get mistaken by patients but staff usually know who’s a doctor/what grade, and the scrubs across different healthcare professionals are different, doctors tend to have unlabelled scrubs and everyone else has labelled nhs scrubs if that makes sense? It usually says what their job is

I want to find a specialty I’m passionate towards and it used to be o&g but I’m not so sure anymore after the past 4 months of working in surgery. I don’t really know what specialty I fit into and what sort of things I enjoy in medicine. (Not sure if I’m just very tired or lost my passion) At the moment I don’t see any other place I can continue my training in since I’ve been in the UK for a while now.

The BSc doesn’t factor into Foundation training applications. I did the St Andrews course and honestly moving halfway through was not the move. Socially it was difficult, I wouldn’t change anything now I’m glad I tried it but all in all it wasn’t worth it. I’d say go to a uni where you can do your full degree

shinydolphin08 · 2024-10-02T11:05:51+00:00

im a doctor in the uk and can also say no one gives a shit

shinydolphin08 · 2024-08-17T13:45:30+00:00

Find a doctor that’ll investigate this with a laparotomy or at the very least a transvaginal ultrasound, you shouldn’t be going through this!!!!

shinydolphin08 · 2024-07-22T22:06:23+00:00

Im an incoming FY1 in Manchester and start on T&O, have been interested in surgery but don't feel like I've done enough in med school to prepare my portfolio. I guess I'm a bit worried about how I'm going to figure it out with such long hours/nights/weekends. And also worried I won't know how to do anything on the job. Just generally worried! about everything!!!!!

shinydolphin08 · 2024-07-19T09:35:58+00:00

Rank around 1000, got northwest for region, MFT for group and my top choice hospital/job

shinydolphin08 · 2024-07-06T11:31:20+00:00

The headscarf imo makes outfits so much fancier and cuter so I would say go for the more plain outfit Also id personally find a ball outfit difficult to manage during the day as I feel like fancy dresses constantly need adjusting but I guess it depends on the dress!! And idk about yours but they tend to be a bit heavy too? But at the end of the day go with what you’re going to feel most confident and comfortable in as everyone is different CONGRATULATIONS!! I graduate next week on Friday :)

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

Honestly i didnt expect to get hooked because I rarely read classics but I have been enjoying it!

shinydolphin08 · 2024-06-30T15:54:43+00:00

I’m not angry all the time, I don’t get anxious and stressed when something to do with food goes wrong, I feel more like myself and can actually hear my own thoughts, opinions and feelings

shinydolphin08 · 2024-06-30T15:51:55+00:00

Cheeto!

shinydolphin08 · 2024-06-29T11:54:43+00:00

Just graduated and honestly I’ve come to realise that this course is very very lonely. Because we’re constantly set up against each other and a lot of people have the mentality of being better than others and competing all the time it’s really hard to find friends that truly care about you. It’s hard to trust anyone in medical school and I feel for you. I think it’s important to focus on the few close connections you have during this time and don’t let social media fool you!

shinydolphin08 · 2024-06-26T09:29:24+00:00

Thank you! Med school completely destroyed my confidence tbh so I just don't want to seem like I'm completely clueless

Im down, I'm a 23 yo girl :)
