A can do attitude is a vital skill to display as a doctor. An example of this can be seen by the work of undergraduate students at Imperial College School of Medicine.  In collaboration with Imperial College and Imperial College School of Medicine Student Union, students produced and wrote an extremely interesting and well regarded career publication.

The publication, 'Get Career Savvy', was driven from concept to publication by Dr Najette Ayadi O'Donnell and her editorial team comprising of undergraduate students at Imperial College School of Medicine. It comprises of articles on the varied career pathways of the different specialities available to doctors, as well as feature articles on subjects as varied as flexible training to volunteering abroad.
