Health Education England e-Learning for Healthcare has developed three bespoke e-learning courses to help core medicine, surgery and psychiatry doctors make informed career choices and effective applications for future career steps. These courses are the latest in a number of bespoke career planning courses developed for health professionals within the e-Learning for Healthcare career planning programme.
The courses will provide core medicine, surgery and psychiatry doctors with a deeper level of understanding of how to ensure future career planning is informed, realistic and robust. They are based around the following five sessions:
-
Introduction which provides an overview to the course
-
Self-awareness which includes reflecting on values, work preferences, skills interests, personality and career stressors
-
Career exploration which includes consideration and research of career options available as well as developing effective networks
-
Arriving at your decision which focuses on decision making types and methods as well as how to check the robustness of career decisions
-
Next Steps which offers advice, information and examples on CV development, job applications and preparing for interviews as well as effective action planning
For each session, learners can compile a distinctive, thorough personal portfolio of research and reflections contained in a downloadable workbook, which can be used to support job applications and interviews.
The e-learning resource is available on the e-LfH Hub, the Electronic Staff Record (ESR) and via AICC links.
