FROM START TO SPECIALTY
Supporting you in your surgical journey, helping you achieve your goals.
Our Philosophy
At Aspiring Surgeons Academy, we provide comprehensive, evidence-informed support across the full spectrum of the surgical application process. Our work extends beyond interview preparation to include portfolio development, meaningful clinical and academic engagement, and the strategic insight required to progress with clarity through each stage of surgical training. Our approach is grounded in real experience. Guidance is delivered by someone who has navigated the same pathway, understands its challenges, and has succeeded through structured preparation and deliberate career planning. This enables us to offer tailored, practical support aligned with your goals, background, and stage of training. Aspiring Surgeons Academy serves aspiring surgeons at every level, from medical students establishing early foundations to resident doctors preparing for Core Surgical Training, and experienced clinicians refining their Specialty Training applications. Our structured approach adapts to your trajectory and evolves as your aspirations develop.

About me & our team
I am a General Surgery ST5 Registrar with a strong track record of success in surgical training applications. I ranked highly in the Core Surgical Training (CST) process - securing my first choice post and later achieved a top 1% ranking nationally in ST3 General Surgery applications.
My journey into UK surgical training began as an International Medical Graduate from Eastern Europe, with no prior NHS experience. Navigating this path required strategy, resilience, and clarity, and it is this experience that now drives my passion for supporting others. I know first-hand the challenges that aspiring surgeons face, and I am committed to helping them approach the process with confidence and direction.
I have built a competitive portfolio through multiple PubMed-cited publications, numerous national and international presentations, leading a national teaching course, and holding national leadership roles. These experiences have not only strengthened my academic and clinical foundation but have also shaped the structured mentorship approach I offer today.
I also collaborate with multiple clinicians who can provide input according to your bespoke needs, including the MSRA exam and matching during UK prioritisation.
