Having completed almost eighteen months working as a competent resident in a variety of settings, I am confident I can continue to undertake clinical and procedural duties of a Resident Medical Officer (RMO) in 2017. During my terms as an intern and RMO, I have demonstrated exceptional clinical experience that is required for a successful junior doctor working as a resident or registrar. During these terms I had many opportunities to complete patient admissions. I would correctly identify a new medical
