Dr Ashhad Noor
With a BSc (Hons) in Medical Education and a Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education, I bring both academic expertise and firsthand experience to guide you toward success.
I secured an ST1 post at the highest trainee-ranked hospital in the prestigious North London Deanery, as per the 2024 GMC Trainee Survey, achieving top-tier performance during the interview with 100% in the communication station.
Whether you’re preparing for the updated interview format, refining your portfolio, or seeking expert guidance, I’m here to help you make your application truly stand out. Having successfully navigated the process myself, I’m excited to share proven strategies and insights to support you in achieving your goals.
Dr Mohammad Saleki
After deciding to apply for Ophthalmology just months before the application, Dr Saleki created a community for other applicants that turned into a 'National Ophthalmology Journal Club for Foundation Doctors' - with the aim of helping him and others get extra points on the portfolio. This, along with his organisational system and attention to detail, helped him achieve a top score and secure an ST1 post on his first attempt. Soon after, OptiMedic was created, merging his passion for community support and good-quality structured educational resources.
Since then, he has produced high-quality research, achieving publication success quickly, with multiple first-author papers published by his own initiative; he has given award-winning presentations at multiple high-impact conferences. All this experience has equipped him with invaluable insights and practical strategies that he applies when helping applicants optimise their own portfolios and excel in the competitive selection process.
