What Should I Do if My Exam is in a WEEK with Dr Seif.

📣📣Book your UKME PLAB 2 Mock service at 📣📣

https://www.ukmadeeasy.net/book-online

In this episode, I answer a question I received from one of our esteemed listeners and candidates. She sent me asking," Dr. Seif, my exam is in a week! How do you recommend I spend that time?”

I pondered this question and recalled my own experience. I still remember it vividly for the whole experience is carved into my memory. I ended up writing what looked like an essay and was inspired to further sum it up into SEVEN THINGS you should do in those last few days.

I am thinking since probably a whole lot of doctors are probably thinking the same thing; “how do I make the best use of those final days?”, I’m going to make it into an episode for everyone to listen to.

Medical Interviews Series -- Ethical Discussions with Dr Seif.

📣📣UKME PLAB 2 Preparation Course, November batch NOW OPEN for registration📣📣

https://www.ukmadeeasy.net/courses

In this episode, I delve into the four main ethics principles that always come to play around making ethical decisions as a doctor in the UK.

It’s my belief that knowing and understanding those principles is what is going to help me and hopefully you, the listener, to formulate answers for medical interview questions revolving around ethical matters in a way that leaves the interviewer with a favorable impression about you.

Awareness of those principles can also be of tremendous value if you are in the process of PLAB 2 preparation for it will help you cultivate an understanding of many decisions you get to learn about in numerous PLAB 2 OSCE scenarios.

In this episode, I take a few steps back to congratulate doctors who just cleared their PLAB 1 and bring them up to speed.
