Applying for specialty training: top tips

A specialty trainee who was twice successful with specialty training applications, gives some advice to this year’s applicants based on her experience and those of colleagues.

Her advice, published in the BMJ Careers, includes :

- Establish your goal and the bottom line
- Organise your form - think in advance about how you will answer questions, sort out the certificates and job details, submit the application much ahead of the deadline etc.
- Prepare your portfolio
- Gather supporting documents
- Keep perspective
