⭐️ CESR and the Portfolio Pathway ⭐️
To practice as a substantive Consultant in the UK, international medical graduates must be specialist registered with the GMC (General Medical Council). It's a lengthy process in which you'll need to partake in in-depth training and career development, either through the UK system via CCT or by having your overseas experience recognised using CESR / Portfolio Pathway.
CCT (Certificate of Completion of Training) and the CESR (Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration) / Portfolio Pathway both allow trainee doctors to get onto the specialist register. They both hold the same recognition, but the journey to getting them is slightly different. CCT is the route that UK doctors take and CESR is the route used to have overseas experienced acknowledged at the same level. CESR-CP sits somewhere in the middle allowing a combination of UK and overseas experience.
As of November 2023 the GMC is changing the evidence required from doctors wishing to join the Specialist or GP registers. The objective is to allow candidates to be able to use a wider range of evidence to demonstrate their knowledge skills and experience.

"Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof."
In my little life's journey, I've always believed that the conclusion of a project holds more significance than its inception. A project may begin with great promise but can still fail to leave a lasting impact if not seen through to a successful end.
Last year, securing a place for my industrial training proved to be an impossible task. There were moments when I felt completely hopeless and was on the verge of giving up. However, just when it seemed impossible, I managed to secure a placement at NAFDAC at the very last minute.
My experience at NAFDAC has been a significant milestone in my career as a Microbiologist. It taught me the value of perseverance and resilience. Here is my certificate of experience from NAFDAC, symbolizing not just the completion of my training but the culmination of my efforts and determination to succeed despite the challenges I faced.
Looking back, the journey may have been tough, but the end result made it all worthwhile.

Joint, realistic training for international deployments plays an essential role in the development of 21 new medical rescEU EMT capacities. To prepare a train-the-trainer concept, experts from the rescEU EMT consortium partners meet this week in Cascais, Portugal, at the invitation of INEM to take part in the DIRECT training for new PT EMT staff. Based on the extremely positive experience, the train-the-trainer courses are now being planned for all rescEU EMT capacities.

Good luck to all Trainee Pharmacists for tomorrow and especially the 500+ trainees in our cohort we’re rooting for you all! #gphcexam
Top tips:
1) Don’t stay up all night waiting for results, its the worst feeling in the world refreshing your screen non stop
2) Don’t stress if your friends receive their results but you don’t, results are released throughout the morning
3) It doesn’t mean anything if someone else receives their results before you do, the timing of results isn’t a surefire pass or fail
4) GPhC feedback suggests it’s possible 80% or more Trainees have passed the exam, so there’s an 8 in 10 chance you’ve passed the exam!

I don't agree with all aspects of this article, but I'd like to highlight points 1, 2, and 4 for everyone looking for an MSL role. What's so special about these?
When you're up against a pool of people with similar or even more experience than yourself, how do you stand out?
Before getting to the interview:
As a hiring manager, when deciding who to speak with first, we have to rely on the resume/CV/cover letter (and reaching out on LinkedIn DOES help highlight your name). What *I* personally search for is not necessarily MSL specific experience, but rather achievements listed that demonstrate an understanding of the transferrable skills the candidate has to be a successful MSL. Make sure your resume is not a laundry list of tasks, but a highlight reel of your career to date. SHOW what you have to offer to an MSL team and you will stand out.
You've made it in front of an internal recruiter and/or hiring manager - now what?! Here's where the tips in the below article come in to play.
At the interview:
1. Be prepared with insightful questions about how YOU can support, improve, add to the MSL team and show humility and self-awareness. I want people who want to contribute, collaborate as a part of a team, and will be open to coaching. We can teach the science far more easily than we can make someone be a team player and remain happy in their role. Similarly, be prepared with insightful questions about the team, the company, and what THEY can do for YOU. This demonstrates initiative, interest, and self-motivation. We want to be as good of a fit for you as you would be for us.
2. I don't love the "tell me about yourself" question for reasons I won't launch into, but you're likely to get some form of it. I prefer to ask about the top 1-2 achievements in your career that you are the most proud of rather than ask for a summary of what I already see in your resume. Practice your responses so that they are concise, but don't sound canned and reflect your personality. If you spend 15 minutes answering this question, you've already lost the job. MSLs need to be able to respond to questions in a concise manner. If you don't know how to summarize your career with a little of "you" sprinkled throughout in under 3-5 minutes, PRACTICE and you will start your interview on the right foot. Don't forget to share WHY you are interested in the specific role you are interviewing for and the company. Connect the company's core values or mission statement back to achievements or goals of yours, for example. We want someone who wants to be here.
3. The presentation. Do not sleep on practicing your presentation skills. I have seen the presentation portion fully make or break a candidate. If you get to choose your own topic, make sure to choose wisely. Understand the topic you are presenting. If you have to read your notes word for word and won't be able to answer any questions confidently, it's not the right topic for you.
Best of luck to everyone searching!
