Hi all,
I'm currently an ACCS anaesthetics trainee in CT1. I am not very interested in anaesthetics, but jumped into the program as it's known to be deliver good 1-1 consultant teaching etc and high satisfaction levels,
In hindsight, I should have explored my options looking into things like psychiatry and paediatrics via an FY3, which I have always found more interesting but was dissuaded against applying for them due to staff shortages etc.
I did not want to drop-out of the program just yet, as I need to see if these other specialities are actually for me, so is an OOPC an option to do this? I was also thinking of switching to GP training, so I could get 6m of psych and paeds with better pay than I would get if I did an F3/LAT post (I definitely do not want to be a GP however).
Thank you!

I would suggest talking to your educational supervisor in the first instance - s/he will have experience in counseling juniors and will be able to suggest the best way forward.
