The best careers advice for medicine in the UK I've ever seen
CV building, application process, training pathways and specific professions are all covered. Includes a very wide variety of possible specialties and professions. The information juniors really want, like competition ratios, salaries and on-call burden are discussed openly - which is great, because they are often completely brushed over at careers fairs and talks.
Misses out on five stars because of favourable entries on quack medicine such as homeopathy
