Abstract
This is important as exposure to a specialty has been shown to affect the career decision of doctors.4 Thus, taster weeks are encouraged by the UK Foundation Programme as a part of career development.5 They consist of 2–5 days in a specialty chosen by the foundation doctor and are designed to give the foundation doctor insight into what a future career in that specialty would entail. Moreover, the taster weeks do not have to be in clinical practice but can also be completed in education and research.5Keywords
