anybody plan to apply 2013 ACF, open this Oct?
The place for medical students to discuss all things about the course from work load to applying for jobs and everything else. Not the place for applicants to ask current medical students questions!

Re: anybody plan to apply 2013 ACF, open this Oct?I'd like to when it comes round...however I've got a question to anyone who might know. Would having done a regular FP rotation hinder you significantly from acquiring an ACF post? Havent heard much on whether it put you at a significant disadvantage

Re: anybody plan to apply 2013 ACF, open this Oct?I don't think a regular FP will hinder/disadvantage the application, but an AFP will advantage it, simply because (1) AFP shows one's dedication to academic career, (2) if there is a teaching block build in the AFP, one will also get formal teaching experience. According to last year's scoring sheet, both (1) and (2) are counted. Otherwise I don't see the difference between regular FP and AFP. Some regular FPs also do high quality research, having pubications, even a PhD.(Original post by graemematt)
