Medical Training Application Service - Application form

These are the things I have to write/answer accordingly in my job application process.. It's not an easy job.. but.. oh well.. fingers crossed.. will manage :)

Recently, a new system is being set up for our job application. The (quality) of statements that we provide (see below/scroll down) together with the academic ranking provided by the medical school is used in assessing and scoring us --> all these will determine where we go (our allocation to a foundation school).

Key statements:
1. Relevant significant achievement: Give an example of a non-academic achievement explaining both the significance to you and the relevance to foundation training. (6)

2. Academic Achievements: List your academic achievements (4)

3. Dealing effectively with pressure/challenge: Describe an exampe (not necessary clinical) of a time when you had to deal with pressure OR overcome a setback/challenge. What did you do and what was the outcome? (6)

4. The patient as the central focus of care: Describe an example from your clinical experience where your behaviour enhanced the experience of the patient as the central focus of care. What did you do and what was the outcome? (6)

5. Working effectively with others: Describe an example from your own experience ( either clinical or non-clinical) that has increased your understanding of the importance of team working. What was your role and contribution to the team? (6)

6. Professionalism: Describe an example of a situation where you had to demonstrate your professionalism and/or integrity. What did you do and what was the outcome? (6)
