My 5th year exam period is just about to begin, and I still need one more year to graduate from medical school as medical education takes 6 years in Hungary. I’ve been studying genetics for years and I’ve been trying to find good opportunities through my blog for more than a year now so I really know how hard it is to build a medical career. A new Australian service now aims to help medical students:
My Medical Career is an online career planning portal for Australian medical students and junior doctors. Our goal is to guide you through the process of selecting and achieving a career which best suits your interests, skills and lifestyle needs.
You start with
- Self-assessment through personality tests
- Specialty profiles: it helps you decide which medical specialty should be your choice
- Options: activities that can be undertaken during your student and junior doctor years
- Career plan: how to write a résumé, what to expect in an interview
- News and conferences in your field of interest
- Useful resources: websites, blogs, forums, etc.
- And a whole community is ready to answer your questions.
The idea is fantastic, I can’t wait to see something similar in Europe as well.
