"Dear Dr. Rahman and team,
Thank you so much for your useful tips and guidance offered at your courses (
Stage 2 crammer and the Stage 3).I have been offered a rotation in 2010 August in
the deanery of my choice (EOE) and in fact the hospital of my choice as well. I was doing locums for over 1 year and wanted to be a GP all my life. I would not settle into another specialty as I was not interested.
I have been successful because
your courses offered me the tips that made the difference, in this competitive selection.
Thank you for making my dream a reality!"
