5.0 out of 5 stars The most comprehensive and easy-to-use medical careers guide, 24 May 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: So You Want To Be a Brain Surgeon?: A Medical Careers Guide (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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat out of date, 19 Dec 2006

By	Mr. C. Reynolds "Kens Stuff" (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: So You Want to be a Brain Surgeon?: A Medical Careers Guide (Oxford Medical Publications) (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of various parts of medical careers, readers should note that the section on Postgraduate Education is now very out of date and does not include any information on the Foundation Years, instituted by the Modernising Medical Careers (NHS) framework in 2006.

5.0 out of 5 stars one word - fantastic, 14 April 2003

By	"princessredz" - See all my reviews

This review is from: So You Want To Be a Brain Surgeon?: A Medical Careers Guide (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...

3.0 out of 5 stars 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

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
