In part 2 of our mini-series on life after med school, we look at what options are out there for different specialty training pathways, and discuss our own experience in deciding to pursue:
<ul>
 <li>Core surgery training</li>
 <li>Internal medicine training</li>
 <li>General Practice specialty training</li>
 <li>O&amp;G specialty training</li>
 <li>Paediatrics specialty training</li>
 <li>Academic career paths</li>
</ul>
We have also produced a ppt with visual aids to this podcast, and a reflective decision questionnaire on how to work out what is important to you when asking yourself what you want to do. These are available at:
