Every season, Accepted consultant Cydney Foote meets bright, engaged applicants who are eager to take their first step toward a career in medicine. Their only problem? Limited clinical experience. Many of them have some (or even a lot) of shadowing experience. Many have worked for a summer in a doctor’s office. Many have a semester or two of volunteering in a hospital playroom for a few hours a month. But when you add up their clinical (non-shadowing) hours, they’re just not enough. 🚨How many hours is enough?🚨 This is a difficult question. There’s no definite cutoff, and some applicants manage to parlay minimal hours into an impressive amount of clinical exposure. However, it’s not easy to convince an admissions committee that you want to pursue a medical career if you haven’t spent sufficient time in a clinical environment. As a general rule, applicants with 500 or more hours of strong clinical experience tend to be the most successful. Are you looking to improve your experiences for your med school reapplication? Read all of Cydney's advice linked below! https://hubs.li/Q02wXTZ70 #medschool #reapplication #medschoolapplication #medschooladmissions #clinicalhours #futuredoctor #medicalschool #medstudent #meded

Public Health Medicine Specialist | Passionate about creating a healthy balance between work and play, and contributing to the global public good through health policy and systems strengthening.
Public Health Career Conversations: Episode 7 – Dr Swabhavikha Singh "We've now incorporated within the medical curriculum, public health medicine. So it's good to say that once they (medical students) start (medical school), we have our Public Health Medicine Department and our specialists who are lecturing, who are teaching the students about the healthcare system, what it entails, all the way from primary healthcare re-engineering going into a community project where they go out and look at GP (general practitioner) observations, and then they actually write up reports based on social determinants of health. So, it's looking at health, not just specifically from a clinical lens, but from an early stage they are looking at it at a population level." Dr Swabhavikha Singh, Public Health Medicine Specialist and Lecturer at University of KwaZulu-Natal highlights the importance of public health training in undergraduate medical education to not only increase awareness of public health as a career path but to augment clinical skills with population level insights. *Key video highlights:* 1:00 Career journey 08:30 Experience of public health medicine training 17:00 Current role in public health tertiary education 21:00 Advice for emerging public health enthusiasts #publichealth #healthworkforce #publichealthcareers #publichealthcareerconversations #shareyourstory

F1 at Blackpool Victoria Hospital | Aspiring HEMS Doctor 🚁| Personal trainer 🏋🏽♀️| Podcast host: A Doctor’s Insight 🎙️
Grabbing opportunities or as I like to call it “A game of hide and seek” After some deep reflection of my time in medical school, one of my action points as I prepared for professional life was to be more active rather than passive in opportunity seeking. Opportunities are plentiful but you have to know where to look, hence I call it ✨hide and seek✨ So, when I saw that Royal College of Emergency Medicine was hosting an ACCS Careers Day that conveniently landed on my zero day, I hopped on the train from Blackpool to London. This was an investment in my future so it was a no brainer really (plus this event was actually affordable 🙏🏽. You should’ve seen the shock on my face when perusing prices of different courses and conferences but that’s a story for another day) In short, the event was useful, informative and led by incredibly seasoned medics. The programme focussed on careers in Emergency Medicine, Acute Medicine, Intensive Care Medicine and Anaesthetics. Rather than being specific, I’ll share the more generic tips that can be applied irrespective of your specialty of interest. CAREER PLANNING TIPS 📝 1. Show commitment to your specialty of interest. Join relevant societies, attend conferences/events, engage in research, QI projects, audits and teach relevant topics 2. Network with professionals in the field. Pick their brain for advice, ask to get involved in projects 3. Do not be put off by competition ratios. If you really want to pursue a particular specialty, go for it. Worst case you don’t get a training number and have to apply the following year. So what? You have your entire career ahead of you, what’s the rush? 4. Familiarise yourself early on with the application criteria and scoring proforma so that you can act on and fulfill the requirements, especially because some of points take time to complete. 5. If you’ve been messed around by the new PIA system and don’t have a rotation in your specialty of interest (but from medical school experience think that you want to pursue it as a career), seek external opportunities like taster days. That interviewer is probably questioning your interest in a specialty you have little exposure to, so have evidence of your eagerness and commitment 6. Have a look at the training programme curriculum and reflect on whether the reality of that career actually appeals to you rather than the idea of it. Of course, nothing compares to first hand experience #accs #medicine #medicalschool #medicalstudent #healthcare #doctors #juniordoctors #career

🌟 Career Day Reflections: Inspiring the Next Generation of Medical Professionals 🌟 This past weekend, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a high school career day. The energy and enthusiasm of the students were absolutely contagious, offering a refreshing break from the routine. Their bright, hopeful faces were a testament to the potential and promise of our future generation. Yet, amidst the optimism, there was a palpable concern about the current state of healthcare in our country. These young minds, already considering their future paths, questioned the viability of a medical career in light of recent challenges faced by healthcare professionals. They asked, "Is it worth pursuing a career in medicine given the continuous struggles and the treatment of our doctors? Are opportunities better abroad?" These questions are a wake-up call for all of us. Our nation's future doctors and healthcare providers are our collective responsibility. As we grapple with healthcare workforce shortages, it's disheartening to see talented individuals feeling compelled to seek opportunities elsewhere due to systemic issues. We must strive to create an environment where our best and brightest can thrive right here at home. Reflecting on my own journey, a quote that resonates deeply with me is, "You are free to choose, but you are not free from the consequences of your choice." To the young people considering their futures, in whichever field of practice, I offer this advice: Choose wisely. Decisions about reproductive health, substance use, and other critical areas can have long-lasting impacts on your life and career. Embrace your dreams and pursue them relentlessly. The world is a global village, full of opportunities, and there is space for all of us to succeed. Your dreams are valid, and your future is bright. Let's work together to ensure that our nation's healthcare remains strong and that our young professionals are valued and supported. #CareerDay #FutureOfMedicine #YouthEmpowerment #HealthcareChallenges #ChooseWisely #DreamBig #GlobalOpportunities #Kenya

What if I told you that the biggest obstacle stopping you from becoming an NP is finding your clinical placements and not completing them? While you ace exams in the classroom and may get a great evaluation from your preceptor, you’ll encounter that finding these clinical placements feels next to impossible. The biggest barriers are the preceptors being overbooked and logistics being time-consuming. It’s no surprise that many NP students have to delay their graduation. Unfortunately, delays in your graduation timeline and clinical placement have far-reaching consequences… Additional semesters or years of education mean extra tuition fees and living expenses. This timeline setback not only restricts your ability to sit for certification exams and officially register as an NP but can also lead to missed earning potential and experience, ultimately hindering your career growth. In some cases, a prolonged program extension might result in curriculum changes, resulting in revisions to your academic plans or redoing courses. Finally, on top of the professional and financial stress, delaying your graduation timeline and clinical placement can have a huge mental and emotional toll. Now, while it’s true that landing a clinical placement is easier said than done, there are still many ways in which you can find one. Here are just a few: Cold call local physician offices and ask to talk to the office manager. Contact professional NPs through LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. Talk to your professional network and see who might be willing to take you as a student. The key is being proactive about the placement process rather than waiting for openings to arise last minute. If you want to stay updated on the latest insights and strategies, make sure to check out our social pages.

Public Health Career Conversations: Episode 9 – Dr Shrikant Peters "Medical managers and the roles that we play in hospital do need to come under further scrutiny. And so everyone knows there are severe budget constraints in the hospitals around the country and the departments, and there is no managing the way that we used to in the past. It's not enough to just have expenditure reports which just get signed off year on year. We have a decreasing budget, which means that we need to make hard decisions about the services that we're going to run and what we're going to stop. How do we measure the utility? How are we fair? And that really is where medical management comes to the fore. Because we are the ones that have to coordinate a diverse set of specialties, we interact with other healthcare professionals - nurses, allied health, general workers - to create packages of care that that can be delivered within resource. And that's obviously where the rubber hits the road. It's very easy to say this is the clinical best practice algorithm in vitro, but in vivo, what is feasible for our country, and what will provide the best outcomes for our patients and their families. And so we’re busy with this work now. We do feel that medical managers, managers of other doctors, managers of specialists do need to attain and be recognized as specialists themselves. So, they do need to attain those kinds of degrees. It's just never been possible. Globally around the world in the US, in Canada and Australia, doctors who study management programs can be recognized officially by Colleges of Medicine in those countries as specialist managers, but it does mean they've gone through a process of formation. We are starting with a diploma program in medical management that breaks down the work of leading and managing a facility." Dr Shrikant Peters, Public Health Medicine Specialist in the role of medical manager at Groote Schuur Hospital and honorary lecturer at University of Cape Town's School of Public Health discusses the role of medical management in ensuring equitable, cost-effective, patient centered care and details current efforts towards establishing a diploma in medical management in South Africa. *Key video highlights:* 1:00 Decision to pursue public health 5:30 Career journey 15:00 Role as medical manager and efforts to institute a Diploma in Medical Management 28:00 Advice for emerging public health enthusiasts #publichealth #healthworkforce #publichealthcareers #publichealthcareerconversations #shareyourstory https://lnkd.in/dFTFfEAa

Helping you become a better OT who loves what you do! | Proud #OTNerd 🤓 | 2024 Finalist - OT of the Year | Open to questions and collaborations to help OTs Learn, Grow and Excel! | Owner of Your OT Tutor
Hosting student placements has become a bit of trend – surely it’s the easiest way to recruit new grads right? Well, while it can help recruitment, if you’re not adequately prepared and the placement you offer ends up as a bit of a chaotic mess, it may not be the answer. I love working with students and would encourage all allied health clinicians to consider hosting clinical placements, BUT, only if you are adequately prepared. To find out if you are ready to host an allied health student clinical placement, ask yourself the questions on these slides. If you need more info then keep scrolling to the end to find out about a free ebook you can download today! P.S. Have you considered hosting students but something has stopped you? Comment below or send me a DM and we’ll see if there’s a solution that might help! #OccupationalTherapy #ClinicalEducation #YourOTTutor #NDIS
