Why take a year gap?

Being a fy2 Doctor is an important and sometimes stressful time at the start of your career. Doctors, you have faced many choices that have impacted your future and may have to decide on certain paths that you wish to pursue in your future.  

It is important to be able to know which specialty to go into because if you were to rush into a speciality like Cardiology and find out afterwards that it’s not meant for you. Then you will have to re-do  another year in another specialty. We know it can be terrifying and a lot of pressure.

Taking a gap year can be tricky, though. It needs to be seen as part of your career plan, so you know what to do within the year, for instance doing locum work as a fy2 Doctor would help you have more knowledge in different specialty fields. 

We did some research on the gap between foundation years and speciality training, and came across this article where they asked a few Doctors about how they transition from fy2 to fy3/ST1. Below is a quote from a Locum Senior House Officer in Accident & Emergency and Paediatrics, who talks about their personal view of how they experience finding the correct specialty work.

“During my foundation programme I was undecided whether to apply for general practice or paediatrics. I know of several friends who chose specialty training immediately after foundation training, changed their mind halfway, and had to start from the beginning again. I was keen to avoid this and decided to take the opportunity to go travelling and gain some useful experience.” – Pippa Howell
