Hi Ali ,
Thank you very much fo making this vedio. I am a first year medic and this vedio kind of got me thinking ahead.Do you think I should start reading research paper and get involved in research? because I am interested in AFP in London and in your last vedio you said its pretty competitive to get AFP in London.

[@ChiakiYumiable]

I can answer this. I applied to London and got rejected because my shortlist score wasn't high enough, and this was because I didn't have publications. I had all kinds of other achievements but nothing published. So I didn't even get an interview.
Some deaneries are less "jumping through hoops oriented". I got an interview at Peninsula for example.
So yes get involved in stuff

[@ZM-ki9tv]

Yes definitely ! Start early. Research can be very messy and take ages to get published so the earlier you start the better. Particularly when some places are very harsh if you haven't got a publication or significant research experience.

Both of these dudes must be Punjabi, because one is Indian and the other one is Pakistani.

Made a typo, meant to type one* is Indian.
