The Definitive Guide to Choosing Your Specialty | Frameworks and Tools

Описание: In this video, I am inspired by one of the comments from my ‘day in a life’ vlog. Instead of going through reasons of why I chose GP, I go through frameworks and tools which will enable you to come to your own decision about what specialty to choose.

When choosing as specialty, as with any career decision, there is much more to consider than solely what you find interesting. I hope this video stimulates self-reflection and brings clarity not only regarding your career, but also what living your best and fullest life looks like to you!

Please note this video is geared towards medical training in the UK. If you are training elsewhere, please research your local medical training programmes as these can vary significantly between countries.
