Questions to ask before you apply
- Compare the stated medical and surgical focus, rather than choosing on duration alone.

- Check whether a clinical fellowship, research appointment or observership is being advertised; each has different responsibilities.
These are editorial prompts for comparing programmes, not requirements set by this institution.
