Internal medicine (IMT) now requires 22/30 points on the portfolio score to guarantee an interview (if applying to other specialties).
How is an F2 doctor supposed to have a portfolio of this standard? Essentially locked out of direct career progression in a medical specialty.
the discourse around ‘doctors force DNARs!!!’ is so harmful and counter productive to attaining dignified death for our patients.. we need more public education re its applicability i.e it’s not just a given: arrest = CPR.. death is natural and comes to us all !!
code switching to be on a patient’s wavelength and get good rapport is mental.. one minute i’m rah mad’ing at a urine dip with a 16 year old to ‘hurrah ! jolly good’ at doris’ first gud night sleep in yonks
