Year 5

Advice for the fifth year
This is the chill year that you have been told that will eventually happen. In my opinion this is the year to do the USMLE if that is what you want to do or spend time in the specialty you think is right for you. You can finish your Thesis in this year or spend time doing research.

This is the start of the bloc year and where you would think that the practical side of medicine would kick in. Unfortunately, the practical side is severely lacking, the younger doctors you will meet during the year will sympathise with you as they will have been through the same thing. The dinosaur doctors that make up a lot of the year will give crappy lectures that will give no more information than the lectures that you will have no interest in going to. I wish I could give you better news but for me this was the reality. I have always preached that lectures have been good to go to, even if they were not good quality but this is the first year that I believe that they are really no help whatsoever. The only lecture that you should go to is Obstetrics and Gynaecology but that is because the head of the department will make it very difficult for you if you do not.

This is just a first draft so far as I will add to it later due to demand from many people
