Our theme in this episode is interview tips.
If you are considering a career in Plastic Surgery or any specialty really - this is a key step to getting onto the programme.
My guest is Dr Oliver Hovav. Oliver has been a plastic surgery PHO in Queensland for the last few years.
In the recent interviews he was the only successful candidate to be appointed to the plastic surgery registrar training programme in Queensland.
As you can imagine, this is a highly competitive process and there were many great candidates. Oliver kindly shares his experience through the interview process, from application, references and tips on how he prepared on the day.
A fascinating insight is that Oliver started off as nursing student and worked as a theatre scrub nurse. He talks to us about that experience and what made him change to pursue medicine and ultimately plastic surgery.
In between interview tips we also explore his favourite travels, greatest mentors in plastic surgery and of course his favourite songs!
Thank you for listening.
