Drivers Medicals with Dr Esra Arslanboga F3 Stories by Messly
-
- Medicine
In this episode, we speak to Dr Esra Arslanboga who is currently an F3 doctor in Wales.
Esra Arslanboga came to medicine as a post-graduate student after studying psychology and neuroscience. Her foundation training years were heavily impacted by the covid-19 pandemic and she wanted a break to travel as an F3. After a bit of travelling, she realised that what she actually was craving was the opportunity to learn, explore, and experiment within medicine.
Her F3 Year has been characterised by saying ‘yes’ to every opportunity that has presented itself, but instead of overwhelming her as she works four jobs, she has only felt invigorated by the opportunities that she missed out on as a foundation trainee.
Esra has a full-time job as a trust grade doctor in Orthopedics and also works as a locum doctor in ED. She spends her weekends doing Driver’s Medical checks and her evenings working on her fledgling business as a lifestyle medicine coach. This year, she completed the British Society of Lifestyle Medicine qualification and is now completing a functional medicine course in the limited free time she has left.
In this episode of F3 Stories, Esra shares how she has found the energy for so many different jobs, and which one she enjoys the most. She also explains how she found the job doing Driver’s Medicals, and what it entails, as well as what she has learned about herself this year and how it is impacting her career ambitions.
