I. Answer the questions:

How to become a specialist in your country? (fulfill the copy of diploma). List the stages in general.

II. Study the text. Choosing a specialty

Jill Mathews has just graduated from medical school and is talking about her future. ‘I haven’t decided what to specialize in yet. I need more experience before I decide, but I’m quite attracted to the idea of paediatrics because I like working with children. I’d certainly prefer to work with children than, say, elderly patients – so I don’t fancy geriatrics. I was never very interested in detailed anatomy, so the surgical specialities like neurosurgery don’t really appeal. You have to be good with your hands, which I don’t think is a problem for me – I’ve assisted at operations several times, and I’ve even done some minor ops by myself – but surgeons have to be able to do the same thing again and again without getting bored, like rying off cut arteries and so on. I don’t think that would be a problem for me, but they need to make decisions fast and I’m not too good at that. I like to have time to think, which means surgery’s probably not right for me.’
