Very informative Ollie! Can u pls make a video on how u build ur CV during medical school. What do they look for when deciding who to take for a certain speciality? Tnx
Mate, you are top notch, very precise, informative and well read! love it!!!
So much clarity ❤️👍 loved it..i hope to see u in person soon after i clear my plabs!!
Fantastic video 👏👏 Thank you very much Ollie for the sufficient information 😃😃👍👍 Have a great day 😃😃 All the best in your further career 😃👍❤️
Would be very interested in a run through vs typical CT1-3 video:)
Hi, anyone know how to find the file of the image that´s in the background? I want to use it as a background for my pc. Thank´s in advance.
so what are they key things to get into a specialty, is it application and grades what do they mainly focus on
Hi doctor, can dermatology training pathway be pursued via mrcs route
What monitor/wallpaper were you using?
How does one create a competitive application for any speciality? What exactly is it that needs to be done?
The person specifications can all be found online! They assess a few domains predictably which include publications/research, dedication to specialty and teaching/leadership experience among a few others. Will make more videos on this in the future.
How about Internal medicine?
run through sounds good
It does I think! Lots of advantages, although often more competitive and I would imagine it probably makes you a lot less good as a general medic or surgeon because you miss out on core training and covering lots of patients!
love that computer background haha
once you apply for an specialty can you choose where you want to do it or the certain positions are only in certain hospitals around the UK? :)
Specialty posts are generated in specific places, so it's the latter. When you are offered a specialty job, it may or may not be in a place that you want. You do rank preferences however.
What year r u in.
Hey Ollie what do you use to get your social media tags?
For social media in general I tend to use those free tag generator websites - for TH-cam specifically I use Tubebuddy!
why do you think cardiothoracic surgery is especially so competitive? is it only because theres so few spots or is there a specific appeal to it? i feel like cardiology is taking away all of CT's surgeries, that's why im intrigued by this
I'd argue they are not, interventional cardiology definitely is encroaching more and more. But the big 5 hour surgeries are left for CT's.
Hey Ollie! What area of surgery are you interested in? Would it be possible to do a gastroenterology major with extra training in minor gastric procedures? I am interested in the medical and surgical sides of gastroenterology.
Hey Ben! I honestly don't know to be perfectly frank. As far as I'm aware a lot of the scoping can be done by gastroenterologists, but all your surgeries are obviously going to be done by General Surgeons (upper or lower GI). I suspect there probably is some overlap but I don't know exactly where in training they would come unfortunately.
What about radiologist🤔
Hi ollie! Just wanna to ask, Does emergency specialty need surgical skills?
Hi there! I'm afraid I honestly don't know as part of training. I can only assume so for things like chest drains and putting in stitches and things but best to ask a doc I think!
@@OllieBurtonMed thank you
Formally, not surgeon theatre based skills. ED trainees spend some time in Anaesthetics. But small invasive procedures are part of your compulsory competencies.
You mentioned there is not enough people want to do GP, but in the stats you showed GP was oversubscribed. Why is this?
It's partially because the raw numbers themselves can be a little misleading - the competition ratio accounts for every application to that specialty, but you can apply to (I believe) as many specialties as you want. So even though the ratio can be above 1, it's possible that not all places are filled.
Most competitive is undoubtedly maxillofacial surgery
not really as medicine is a postgraduate degree in the US so your spending more time in uni and wasting more money per year and the cost per each year is a lot higher then the uk
what are we talking about here Imran? not really in reference to what
@@OllieBurtonMed is was about how the uk medical training is worse then the USA and I said that its actually better in the UK , what do you think 🤔?
Oh I see - depends on your perspective I think. Their specialty training is way shorter and their earning potential enormously higher - of course they do accrue larger debt to get there. Their training culture in the US is also vastly better than in the NHS, but it has problems of its own. Depends what you want from life!
UK medical training system sucks compared to US. That means more years of hard-work cheap labors
in the end it is not longer because in the UK they start medical school immediately after high school and 4 years of bachelor degree before med school isn't required. So in the end the years of " training" to become a doctor are the same
Americans require a university degree in order to start med school- that's 150k worth of debt, and 3/4 years of time that you could have spent studying medicine.
