Thanks for all the information I really appreciate

[@olakunleadewole4272]

Thank you so much for this. Please sir, how can i apply for more than one subspecialties

[@EmedicaEducation]

You complete a separate application via Oriel for each specialty you want to apply for

@@EmedicaEducation thank you so much

For the deferment process, can I select 'no, I do not want to defer' on the application, then later change my mind and write to the deanery asking to defer after I get an offer?

[@EmedicaEducation]

Yes, but you can only defer for maternity, paternity, or illness

Salam sir Just to clarify, is 1 year of housejob counted in 2 years clinical experience or do i need 2 years besides housejob to be eligible? From Pakistan!

[@EmedicaEducation]

Wa alaikumas salaam. Yes, housejob / internship counts, so you need 1 more year after this by the start date of training to be eligible

@@EmedicaEducation OK sir. Thanks 😊

Hello, I want to apply for the upcoming training that will begin February but by then my license would have been more than a year which means I would have to withdraw it and keep just my registration. Would that have any impact on me getting a placement?

[@EmedicaEducation]

As long as you have a licence by the start date of training it won't impact your application

@@EmedicaEducation Hello, will I be eligible to apply if I'm not working in the UK during the application process and only have the GMC registeration (license withdrawn), many thanks

[@AamirShamas-eh1xj]

Should I have the 2 years of experience from the same hospital itself? Or can I work few months in one hospital and then few months in another?

[@EmedicaEducation]

2 years in total, doesn't all have to be in one place.

@@EmedicaEducation I am planning to give SJT exam so that I can apply for F2 Standalone programe. My concern is that if I clear it, my F2 training will start by August 2024. Since it is a 1 year program, the training gets over by August 2025 and that is when I get my 2 years of expeirence. Will that be an issue as there could be a slight overlap between by F2 finishing date and Training commencing date? Kindly help me. Jazakum Allahu Khair

[@EmedicaEducation]

FY2 standalone finishes the day before training starts in August so there is no overlap, unless you do not meet your competences / have to repeat part of the FY2 standalone. If that happens you would lose any training job offer. Otherwise you would have the required experience on time.

Please, if for instance I pick London as my only choice and I score 500 but rank 2,000 which probably couldn't get me London, will another location be automatically be given to me or I lose the whole thing just because I didn't put other cities

[@EmedicaEducation]

You can only get an offer from an area you selected in your preferences - in the example you gave you wouldn't get an offer. This video covers how to rank correctly: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYG9d6SKrbOBf7ssi=SctC0D6dGhmPdpCB

Thank you sir

[@ashwin88888]

sir if i apply for multiple specialities filling out multiple applications on oriel then will i get just one invitation to book msra and will the msra be used for all specialities for example if i have got an invitation from gp st1 will i get a different invitation to book for core surgical training also please guide me what does your emedica package involve qbank and lectures and if i only subscribe for qbank what will i be missing?

[@EmedicaEducation]

Yes, you will only sit the MSRA once for all specialties that use it which you applied for. The score is used in different ways by different specialties. The 2 day MSRA Crammer course has over 14 hours of CPD covering high yield teaching to allow you to consolidate key knowledge and to improve your exam technique. On day 1, this includes rapid reviews of over 130 clinical topics across the different curriculum areas, with a full teaching mock to help you improve your time management and exam technique. On day 2 we will cover the key GMC and ethical guidance for the exam, and there is a big focus on exam technique, which is particularly important for the SJT paper. We will look at how SJT questions are written, how to map questions to the SJT domains and subdomains, why you should approach section 1 SJT questions in a very different way to section 2 questions, and we have a teaching SJT mock with detailed explanations so you understand why the best response is correct. If you just subscribe to the question bank, you will get access to questions to practice with concise explanations, you won't get access to any teaching / lectures / the material covered in the 2 day course. The course is ideal for doctors that are aiming for a really high score / that want to cover a lot of key topics in a short period of time / those that want additional support for the SJT paper. Details of the course are at www.emedica.co.uk/sra

if i apply my crest form and due to some reason it is rejected will i be given a chance to rectify the mistake done in crest and reupload

[@EmedicaEducation]

Yes, they usually give you until the application deadline / 72 hours to resubmit

[@ashwin88888]

sir can i make a compliment slip myself by typing hospital name adress and website on a blank A4 paper signed by the same consultant or should it be signed by hospital MS

[@EmedicaEducation]

Please contact the recruitment team directly to ask about this. I think it is unlikely to be accepted if you made it yourself.
