Core Trainee Selection Interview Workshop
10th February 2025, 19:00 to 21:00 GMT
Overview
The Oxford FTSS and the RCSEd Core Trainee Forum invites aspiring core trainees to take part in an online evening of talks to help prepare for core surgical training interviews. This workshop is of two parts. The first part will start with an overview of the 2025 CST selection process, an introduction to core surgical training and how to succeed in the core surgical interview from a recently successful core trainee. This part will finish with a ‘live’ mock interview.
The second part will be in online breakout rooms for one-to-one mock interviews conducted by members of the CTF (limited spaces available).
Registration for the first part is open to all. For the second part registration will be on a first come first serve basis and will involve a deposit fee of £50, refundable on attendance. All participants of this part of the workshop will receive a certificate of attendance.
