9. Preferences* (Programmes & Interviews) You will have the opportunity to rank all 120 TFS programmes in order of preference if you wish to do so. Please rank programmes numerically in order of preference with 1 being your most preferred option. For preferences which you wish to give equal consideration to but are of a lower priority than your other ranked options, please select 0. Please note that 0 is the default option. Therefore, if you do not select a specific preference, this will be entered as 0. For preferences for which you do not wish to be considered please enter ‘X’. Please note that applicants are advised to rank as many options as possible as allocation will be made on a ranked score basis following interview. It is strongly recommended that you read the detailed programme information (Appendix B) before making your programme preferences. A spreadsheet summarising the TFS programmes is also available on the TFS AFP recruitment website. NB: Although there is a choice of 19 KCL programmes there are only 18 places available. 10. Equality & Diversity Monitoring Form * 11. Declarations * * These pages of the application form will not be made available to scorers/interviewers. Short listing Application forms will be scored by a panel of two people at least one of whom should be a clinician.

Interviews TFS will be holding six interview sessions, one hosted by each medical school (see dates below). 22 Jul 2010 TFS Interviews – Imperial College 23 Jul 2010 TFS Interviews – KCL 30 July 2010 TFS Interviews – SGUL 5 August 2010 TFS Interviews – UCL 19 August 2010 TFS Interviews – BSMS 31 August 2010 TFS Interviews – Barts (QML) 2 September 2010 Telephone Interviews www.stfs.org.uk/student/academic-programmes Email: tfsacademicrecruitment@stfs.org.uk Page 5 of 70 Updated: 27 May 2010

Applicants will be asked to indicate their availability to attend each of the six dates as part of the TFS on-line application process. Applicants will be interviewed at the site of their first preference programme wherever possible, however, this will depend upon applicant availability and score. Invitations to attend an interview will be circulated via e-mail by the end of 12 July. Those invited to interview will have 48-hours to confirm whether they will attend in person or by telephone (see below for information regarding telephone interviews). Applicants attending an interview will be required to bring one form of photo ID (e.g. driving licence, passport, medical student ID badge etc) in order to confirm their identity. Applicants will also be required to bring a brief, well presented portfolio containing evidence in support of their application, e.g. evidence of prizes, certificates, publications etc. The interview will be divided into two sections with different panels, each lasting 10 minutes, one addressing clinical issues and the other portfolio/academic. Each panel will consist of two members. At least one clinician will sit on the clinical panel and one academic on the portfolio/academic panel. Applicants will be issued with a clinical scenario to consider 15 minutes in advance of their interview. The clinical scenario will form the basis of a discussion during the clinical interview. During their two-year Foundation Programme, appointed candidates will have to achieve all standard Foundation competences in less clinical time, as they will also be undertaking academic activities. This makes it important that they already possess good clinical skills and hence the inclusion of both academic and clinical components within the interview process. Telephone Interviews TFS will provide a limited number of telephone interview opportunities for applicants who are unavoidably out of the UK (e.g. on elective) and are not available to attend an interview in person. Telephone interviews will take place on 2 September. Telephone interviews will follow exactly the same format as face-to-face interviews. The interview will be divided into two sections with different panels, each lasting 10 minutes, one addressing clinical issues and the other portfolio/academic. Each panel will consist of two members. At least one clinician will sit on the clinical panel and one academic on the portfolio/academic panel. Applicants will be issued with a clinical scenario to consider 15 minutes in advance of their interview. The clinical scenario will form the basis of a discussion during the clinical interview. Applicants will be allocated a telephone interview on the basis of their score Invitations to take part in an interview will be circulated via e-mail by the end of 12 July. Those invited for a telephone interview will have 48-hours to confirm whether they will take part. www.stfs.org.uk/student/academic-programmes Email: tfsacademicrecruitment@stfs.org.uk Page 6 of 70 Updated: 27 May 2010
