Do Not Worry

When I saw my friends’ CVs after my PLAB 2, I got worried, because most of them were 8-page long CVs. But the length of the CV does not matter. It is the content and the way that the content is presented that matters more than anything else.

Do not worry if you see other people having a long CV. I myself had a 3-page long CV after I had passed PLAB 2.

Is a CV Really Needed?

Yes and No. It is important to have a CV because you can be asked for a CV at any point. But it is totally possible that you might never be asked to show your CV. I myself have not been asked to show my CV anywhere.

I once took my CV to a job interview where it was returned back to me without even checking it because they said they had my NHS jobs profile. But my friends have been asked to show their CVs during job interviews.

What Do We Use if Not CVs?

We use online profiles. When the time comes, you will get to know about them. So do not worry for now.

.

Online Profiles

When you apply for non-training jobs in the UK, your online NHS Jobs profile will be your CV. When you apply for training posts, your portfolio will be your CV.

WORK EXPERIENCE

• Feb 2014 – Aug 2014
  House Officer
  Dept. of Medicine
  Baqai University Hospital, Karachi

This was part of my House job/Internship. I worked in the department of medicine for a designated six months. I learned how to take a thorough history of a patient, perform a detailed examination, make relevant differentials and devise an appropriate management plan in terms of investigations and treatment plan.

In the morning and evening rounds, I presented cases in detail.  I frequently attended educational seminars, workshops and CME meetings.

.

• Aug 2014 – Feb 2015
  House Officer
  Dept. of Surgery
  Baqai University Hospital, Karachi

This was also a part of my House job/Internship. I learned to take a proper history, perform examination, and make differentials for a surgical patient. I also presented cases in ward rounds and morning meetings.

I observed and managed surgical elective cases and emergencies like acute abdomen, intestinal obstruction, cholecystectomy, pancreatitis and diabetic foot.

In the A & E, an Orthopaedic Surgeon supervised me in the management of fractures, applying plasters and bandaging the wounds. I also attended operation theater, assisted in various surgeries and helped in suturing.

.

• Feb 2015 – Aug 2015
  Senior House Officer
  Dept. of Surgery
  Baqai University Hospital, Karachi

I participated in ward rounds for General Surgery, Orthopedics, Urology, ENT, Plastic Surgery. On a daily basis, I presented cases to consultants. I was also doing long on-call duties (8AM to 12PM the following day) every third or fourth day.

On a weekly basis, I participated in case meetings where I presented cases to fellow junior doctors and consultants. I also attended CME courses frequently and did various workshops

.

• Aug 2015 – Jan 2017
  Resident Medical Officer
  Dept. of Nephrology
  Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation (SIUT), Karachi

I was allotted beds in the Nephrology Emergency ward and I was the doctor in charge of those beds. I had to take history, examine the patients and update their treatment charts accordingly. I presented cases in the daily rounds – first to the senior resident in charge and then to the professor.

I also had long on-call duties every fourth day (from 8 AM to 12 PM the following day) and had to look after all the patients in the ward.

I also worked in the main Nephrology Emergency where triage was performed. Most patients presented with signs and symptoms of fluid overload or uremia. I learnt to assess them quickly, perform quick examination and investigations before making a decision about their treatment plan.

I also worked at four different dialysis centers associated with SIUT. I was the only doctor at these dialysis centers. My duty included both medical and non-medical responsibilities. Each center used to see 50 to 100 dialysis on a daily basis. I used to see all of these patients, educate them about their condition, discuss their dietary options and restrictions and keep an eye on their weight. I also had to deal with emergencies at the dialysis centres.

Therefore, I can efficiently deal with nephrological emergencies in the ward and have learned all emergency procedures for acute management of a patient (like pulmonary edema, seizures due to hypocalcemia or hypocalcemia, severe acidosis, bleeding from burst arteriovenous fistula, loss of consciousness, anuria). I can also carry out daily ward responsibilities such as venipuncture, doing arterial blood gas, IV cannulation. I have also passed central venous catheters in dialysis patients under supervision.
