Did you have to have prior research experience 😢 or have done anything research related prior to the interview?

Great video, thanks What sort of statistical questions they might provide you, like a forest plot, abstract paper, anything else?

Hi! Thank you for your video I wanted to clarify some basic info - 1. If I want to apply for CST (clinical only )and ACF (academic and clinical), will they be separate applications? If they are not separate applications, do I only apply for ACF and I will automatically be considered for CST ? 2. What is the difference between an ACF post, and working as an education fellow? Is an education fellow post helpful in ACF portfolio? 3. At what point in the application do we clarify the area of interest e.g surgery, medicine etc? Is it asked for in the application or during the interviews? 4. Do we select ACF allocated posts from the list available or are we assigned according to scoring or preference? Would appreciate your guidance 😊

Hello , does this mean only doctors currenlty working in the NHS can apply for ACF ?? So If I was an international graduate I will have to get an nhs post before applying to ACF ?

Thanks alot Efi this video is really helpful. I have my interview in round 2 on 10th May, would u mind me taking a 30 min of ur time for a mock with u at anytime u r free before the 10th? I would really love to have a mock with u and learn from your experience before sitting my actual interview.

Thanks Efi... Could you answer the question if there is a chance to be CCT in the speciality while taking up acf.Acf is for 3 years right,while surgical teaining is for about 6 years.

Congratulations...Is there a specific timing to start ACF... begining of speciality training or l could apply from the start of core training? Does it require CREST Form?

Hello Dr Efi, I really appreciate your work. The Content is super amazing and very informative. However, you seem to be inconsistent in the content post and Video editing. I know you're swamped with work and have busy days. So for these reasons, I want to be part of this journey and would like to assist you in all aspects of social media growth from editing to creativity. My experience will surely save days-hours of time and effort. Please let me know when you are available to discuss this.

Hello! I am a doctor in the UK and I am interested in applying for the ACF. I was hoping to get some further advice and questions answered. What would be the best way to get in touch? Thanks, Elena

Thanks for sharing I will do mine soon

Can u do a video on different bmj subscriptions ?

thank you very much for your video. May I know when you apply for ACF at St1 level for example in internal medicine IMT. will you go for 1 interview of the ACF and that's it or you would also need to attend the IMT interview? or just need a shortlisting for the IMT at the same time ... is that what is meant by clinical benchmarking? could you clarify that for me because I am interested to apply this year and many thanks in advance.

thank you so much for a good knowledge. doc I do not know anything about academic fellowship may do you recommend a course or a book to start

Thanks Efi for the informative video. I have a few questions: When do we apply for ACF? would it be after the foundation program years and instead of applying for CMT/CST we should apply for ACF? I already have a PhD in the field I am interested in, could that help my portfolio? And lastly, can ACF be in any speciality that we'd like (I like doing research and work clinically in neurology, is that possible?) Thanks in advance and sorry for bombarding you with questions. there isn't much info on ACF on the Internet compared with other trainings in the UK.

Thank you so so much for outlining it all so well! Congratulations! :D

I have always waited to see a Ghanaian doctor in the UK 🇬🇧 TH-cam channel.finally !!

THANK YOU and congratulations! I’m currently in India and still have to take my PLAB 2. I am very interested in ACF in psychiatry. I wanted to know if I’m eligible for this if I have my CREST form signed from my home country. Also, will my clinical training also be in the same area as my academic training and would I need to apply for these separately?

Hello, this was a super useful video! I’m currently in year 12 doing my A-Levels and I want to apply to Medicine, but I’m also really drawn to the research side which is why I have been doing some research on the ACF and related programmes. Say I wanted to specialise in neurosurgery after doing my foundation training, would this ACF be instead of doing neurosurgery training or would you do it after? As I’m not 100% sure on how it all works. Thanks!

This is so great! 😃 thanks Dr Efi

Such a great video. Thanks for sharing 😁🤩x

Hey! I liked the video a lot! I've been trying to search for a TH-cam video that really teaches the topics in this TH-cam video! 👏 🧑‍⚕️ That explanation at 1:29 is my fav. Your tip really reminds me of the channel from Dr. Ethan! Doctor's videos are actually useful and he really helped me a lot on my wellness! Go check out his YT out and give Dr Ethan a like! ➡️ #DoctorEthanScience

Your teeth are spectacular fam

I'm considering an ACF in IMT - bit of a silly question but when I log on to oriel how do I see the jobs that I am applying for? I can only see the research theme rather than individual hospitals/ rotations etc! thank you sooo much

Love this! xx

Great video :) I agree to so many of these points, here in Bulgaria its mostly the integrated method being used. But mostly theoretically the first 3 years, then gradually more practical.

Thanks for this Efia! I hope to start a psychiatry ACF in August 2022. I know you've just started, but do you know how an ACF goes about choosing and focusing on a particular research interest? For example, does it have to be in a particular research area that the department focuses on, or is there scope for the fellow to shape their own research idea and direction?

Hi Efia, Great vid, thank you. I'm an F1, didn't get the AFP but still very keen on research/ACF programme in medicine. Do you have any advice or plan to make a video specifically about how you prepared your application? Thanks!

UPDATED 2020 UCAT VIDEO! :D th-cam.com/video/jj47Ban-Ggk/w-d-xo.html

Also ditto about embryology though 👀🙈😂 gotta mention histology and immunology too...don't care for those either 🤷🏾‍♀️😂 lol

😃👌🏾💖

Yay!!! Will let the fact that you don’t care for the plants slide cause I think you’re great!! 😄🙌🏽🥰

Hey guys! I've uploaded a video about applying to medicine as a graduate! Do check it out if you're interested :) th-cam.com/video/C3Th-jJoJtY/w-d-xo.html

Great info hun. I find your videos funny and enlightening. Keep it up

Great video! Loved the mask when you were coughing 😂 #covid-19 #stayalert 👀 lol. I did the AFP and although I haven't carried on with research down the line (as of now anyway) would definitely still recommend it! 😃👌🏾

I need to hit the pavement 😅🤣😂🤣 brilliant!!

Great video! Such useful tips! :D x

Please i need your e mail address

Hi I honestly can relate, I am in a similar position now. I took a gap year to reapply, I got offer at Bristol university but sadly on Thursday (results day) found out that I didn't get the grades so lost my offer. Went through clearing and now will be studying biological science. Right now I feel so upset but im trying to be positive. What advice would you give on how to prepare for to apply for GEM? can you apply from 2nd year or its has to be during 3rd year? Thanks

<3

Hey I really love your videos and I am currently at Bradford university doing the clinical science course hoping to get into medicine!!! Did you do the foundation year first or did you go straight into the undergraduate degree!! Also do you have any of your clinical science notes which you could probably share or send through by email as I would be enterally gratfull😅😄🙏. Enjoy your day 💙💙
