Product Description
Review
So you want to be a Brain Surgeon? could be your smallest investment into your biggest decision. (Black Bag (Bristol Medical School Gazette) )
So you want to be a Brain Surgeon? could just as easily have been titled "Everything you ever wanted to know about medical careers but were afraid to ask!" (Northwing (University of Sheffield Medical School Gazette) )
So you want to be a brain surgeon? comes out on top as the best all rounder. In addition to its synopsis of some 80 careers, the book is also full of useful addresses and telephone numbers of various professional bodies (and not just in medicine), making it invaluable for ready reference. (Student BMJ )
What a fantastic little book! This really is an indispensable careers guide. It covers just about all branches of medicine...the book is clearly laid out. All in all, I learned a great deal about our esteemed profession from this book, but most of all I discovered that if you want a job with minimal stress, don't become a brain surgeon! (Cambridge Medicine )

Format:Paperback
The first edition was good, this edition is even better. It cover over 90 different career choices for the medical graduate. Each is explained carefully and amusingly with personal anecdotes. The book also contains 'at a glance' guides to each possible job, for quick reference. It contains full information on the exams, career structures/pathways and colleges. Lastly it has a full set of all the phone numbers/faxes and web addresses you could possibly need. Top marks.

Format:Paperback
Although this book is still an excellent resource with regard to specialty profiles and a general overview of various parts of medical careers, readers should note that the section on Postgraduate Education is now very out of date and does not include any information on the Foundation Years, instituted by the Modernising Medical Careers (NHS) framework in 2006.

Format:Paperback
this book provides a great breakdown about uk specialties and the training pathways and exams needed for them. being an international student i was pretty lost about what came after medical school, but now i am found!! opens your mind to options you also may never have thought about if you didn't have any exposure to them previously (opthalmology anyone??) fantastic place to start in considering your future career while a medical student.
now if only someone would write one as straightforward for the U.S. system...

Medical Careers Bible
This book is great. It provides much needed clarity about medical training and specialities. It is easy to read and frank. Read more

Out of date
This book is ok for outlining various specialties but is now entirely wrong in terms of the training paths since MMC has been implemented. Is there going to be an update? Read more

Great Book, but 3 Years Late
This book is great for specialties and a general guidance to medical school, but do not rely on it for career guidance. It is old and dated compared to the MMC new structures. Read more

Not informative enough
I expected a lot from this book to make a decision. The previews reviews were excellent, but I have a feeling they may have come from the actual authors?? Read more
