| الوصف: | Introduction Competition for core surgical training (CST) applications has increased significantly over the last few years. This has been largely attributable to the introduction of limited run-through surgical posts which avoids the bottleneck at ST3 applications. We sought to assess how financial factors may affect current or potential future surgical trainees in their pursuit for run-through posts. Method A 10-point questionnaire was designed to assess various financial considerations for surgical trainees applying to the 2021 CST cycle who had the sole goal of securing a run-through post. Results were analysed using Chi-squared test. Results Of the 40 respondents, 95% were foundation doctors and 5% were core trainees. There was a significant association between willingness to achieve full marks in the CST interview and attending an interview course and obtaining 1-1 coaching sessions (p < 0.05). Familial income was not found to be a significant barrier to spending money on interview courses and coaching sessions (p < 0.05). Conclusions Applicants are willing to pay a significant premium to secure a run-through surgical post. Further research is required to fully understand the reasons behind this phenomenon and the impact on those from widening participation backgrounds. |
