Hello and welcome to Infection Trainee Guru! I’m Melissa Haines, an Infectious Diseases/Medical Microbiology SpR, and I’m excited to embark on this journey with you. As someone who has navigated the challenges and triumphs of the medical field, I understand the importance of sharing knowledge and experiences to help others along their paths.
Infection Trainee Guru is more than just a vlog – it’s a platform dedicated to passing on the invaluable insights I have gained during my four years as a Specialist Registrar. Whether you’re a seasoned trainee or just beginning your journey, I am here to provide you with the tools, tips, and support you need to succeed.
Through my YouTube channel, I’ll be sharing candid discussions about my experiences, challenges, and victories in the world of infectious diseases and medical microbiology. From practical advice on managing on-calls and ward duties to insights on exam preparation and professional development, my goal is to ease the transition for trainees like yourself as you work towards becoming a Consultant.
While my main content will be shared through YouTube, this website will serve as a hub for supplementary materials and key resource links discussed in my videos. Here, you will find additional resources to complement the topics covered in my vlogs, making it easier for you to access the information you need to thrive in your career.
I invite you to subscribe to my YouTube channel and join me on this exciting journey. Together, we’ll explore a wide range of topics, including which associations and societies to join for networking and professional growth, essential phone apps to streamline your workflow on calls and in the wards, and invaluable exam revision materials to help you ace those crucial assessments.
Thank you for considering joining me on this adventure. Your support means the world to me, and I can’t wait to connect with you, learn from you, and grow together as we navigate the intricate and rewarding world of infectious diseases and medical microbiology.
Here’s to your success – let’s make every step of this journey count!
Thanks, Melissa.
