Focused and concise, yet incredibly comprehensive, this textbook is written by top scoring candidates on the UK integrated clinical academic programme. This accessible and informative text is aimed primarily at medical students and will give you up to date, experience based information you need to maximise your chances of success in the UK Academic Foundation Programme (AFP) applications. The content may indeed be useful beyond the AFP, for example for academic clinical fellowship (ACF) applications for junior doctors. The 'lecture-style' informal tone of writing is employed to make the text enjoyable with a big emphasis on learning from experiences of previous candidates. This highly original text is a must-have for candidates preparing to enter UK integrated clinical academic training.
