Questions to ask before you apply

• Compare the stated medical and surgical focus, rather than choosing on duration alone.
• Ask which procedures the fellow performs, how supervision changes and how time is divided between clinics, operating rooms and research.
• 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.
