E86: Discovering Ophthalmology and finding Balance in Life - Dr Arun Kiru

In this week’s episode we are joined by Dr Arun, an ophthalmology trainee based in London who shares with us his story from the very beginning. Find out how he ranked Top 3 nationally in his speciality applications despite having no publications. Arun shares how he discovered ophthalmology and decided it was right the speciality for him. Tune in to hear his top tips for securing competitive posts for all budding trainees.  

Arun delves into the importance of having balance in our personal lives, careers and workplace especially in a productivity-hype driven world. We discover how he became 'The OSCE Guy’ on YouTube and why success also includes spending time socialising with friends and family at the expense of high grades, views and sub counts.

Dr Arun Kiru (‘The OSCE Guy’) is a North London ST2 Ophthalmology Trainee based at the Western Eye Hospital. He ranked third nationally in Ophthalmology National Recruitment and graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2017 with a Distinction. He loves teaching, mainly via his Youtube Channel, which is aimed at current medical students.
