Interview - The first three months of UK anaesthetics, insights and learning - Dr James Smith
GasGasGas - Anaesthetic Science for Anaesthesia!
Advice for Students and Juniors
James advises maximising placements, taster days, reflections and demonstrating humility in interviews.
Welcome to a special interview edition of GasGasGas – the podcast that explores anaesthetic life in all its glorious detail, venturing out into its terrifying, and human dimensions.
I want those thinking about anaesthetics to gain insight, and I want everyone else Post IAC to remember the IAC experience and focus on what we can do to make the IAC time maximally useful for our colleagues.
Today, host James sits down with James, a CT2 ACCS anaesthetic trainee to explore the real story behind those first few months in anaesthetic training.
