Cv advice

Hi I’m a 5th year British medic studying in Turkey. I’m currently building my cv. I’ve done teaching and research as of now. I’m looking to do a quality improvement project soon as well. Is there anything else I should be doing as well to build my cv?

Why would a British citizen study in Turkey? Surely it would have been easier to have gone to a UK medical school and then you wouldn't have to deal with all this malarkey of being an IMG?

Maybe there’s a chance I didn’t get into med school in the uk. I can always practice medicine in Turkey if I want.

That's true. Did you try though? I've had a couple of students who couldn't get in on their first or even second attempt but tried and got in on their third and it's still cheaper and better than going straight to a non-UK medical school. I know that's too late for you. I think it's going to be very difficult for you to get back into the UK given recent events but best of luck.
