Career planning for doctors: an evidence-based guide blends a rigorous appraisal of the evidence together with the extensive client experience of its two authors who have coached hundreds of medical students, resident doctors, GPs and consultants. Using tried and tested methods, this accessible guide teaches you how to identify potential career choices that may suit you and how to explore these options thoroughly to make a robust career decision. Clearly written self-help exercises walk you through each step of the career planning process providing support and guidance. The amount of time you need to set aside is provided, aiding your preparation. Relevant research is woven throughout each chapter to explain why a particular approach is used and numerous real life case studies illustrate how the exercises work in practice. Use your free online access to download exercise templates and listen to podcasts by the authors for further explanation. With dedicated chapters on succeeding as an IMG doctor, working overseas, and portfolio careers, Career planning for doctors will help you prepare thoroughly for the next stages of your career.

The book is full of sound, practical and helpful advice. The authors deserve our congratulations and thanks for putting together an advice manual that should be a compulsory read for medical students, doctors at all levels of training as well as educational and clinical supervisors, and mentors. * Dinesh Bhugra, CBE, Professor Emeritus, Mental Health & Cultural Diversity, IoPPN, Kings College, London and Past president of the Mental Health Foundation (2014-2020) and British Medical Association (2018-2019) *
