Abstract
• ENT run through posts are extremely competitive requiring a median
core surgical interview rank of 27 • Holding additional degrees and
transitioning directly from foundation training may improve applicant
success • Prior exposure to ENT is variable in successful ST1 applicants
• The pilot has been successful in attracting candidates by providing
geographical stability and encouraging early engagement with ENT UK •
These results will enable development of the pilot programme and provide
valuable information for those applying to an ENT run through post
