Trainee doctors make key choices about long term direction soon after Foundation training, so knowing how to explore, decide and follow through options is important.
These pages are here to help you work through the four key stages of medical career planning and decision-making, outlined by the "The Roads to Success" model (Elton, C. & Reid, J., 2009):
- Self assessment (taking a history)
- Career exploration (examination and options)
- Decision making (forming a detailed diagnosis)
- Plan implementation (following through the treatment plan)
The medical careers section of the UK health careers website is part of a national NHS careers resource and we strongly recommend that you visit this too.

Exploring & planning your career
Your career effectiveness will be influenced by the match between you as a person, your role and your work environment.
Self-awareness and personal insight are key to good career planning and choices. Your choice of work in medicine needs to fit and balance with other factors in your life and individual career aspirations also vary.
