"That's a competitive specialty!" Doctors, … If you having medical interviews in sight … Or a cover letter to write … If you've got a specialty in mind that you want to set yourself up over the next few years to apply for … Or if you're trying to understand if you need to do this research or that … If you're wondering whether it's worth your time when it's 'so competitive' … If you're wondering whether the rat race is worth it to you at all … Or if you're wondering what exactly this rat race that everyone is talking about is Then, this episode is for you. Kristeen shares the things that propelled her forwards despite all the barriers she came across in becoming a Specialist Nephrologist in Melbourne Australia. All of the way from Scotland no less. This episode is full of those statements we hear over and over again as doctors that can get in our head and have us hold ourselves back. By bringing these statements into the light and using a process of inquiry, we can start to loosen the grips that these statements have on us - and the impact that they have on our career decisions. Kristeen also shares some incredible resources she's created on medical interviews, cover letters and competitive specialties. Has anyone ever said to you, "That's a competitive specialty!"
