Welcome to UnderstandHeart Podcast Episode 6 where I will be sharing some top tips on the cardiology ST3 interview. This year will be slightly different from the other years but the main format remains the same. I would suggest getting some help from local registrars to practice your presentation and answering questions on the spot.
