Many IMGs find themselves caught in a loop of non-training jobs — LAS, clinical fellow, trust grade — and slowly start to question if they’ll ever land a specialty training number. But the problem isn’t your potential. It’s the lack of a roadmap. Whether it’s unclear portfolio expectations, lack of mentorship, or simply being overwhelmed by visa or rota stress, it’s easy to feel busy but directionless. So how do you break free and build momentum toward real career progression?
Here’s how to start:
📄 Understand the person specification for your target specialty — it’s your blueprint.
📚 Turn daily experience into evidence: teaching sessions, audits, reflections.
🤝 Network with those already in training — webinars, forums, mentorship = clarity.
📌 Don’t let visa concerns stall your goals — many programmes now sponsor applicants.
🚀 Stop waiting for someone to give you permission. Apply even if you’re scared.
