BMJ Medical Career Guides

BMJ started out 180 years ago as The British Medical Journal. The first issue published articles on stillborn babies, arm amputation at the shoulder, and the climate on the Isle of Wight. Today the BMJ website features the latest news, research and white papers as well as a medical course finder, job postings, articles and career guides.

After completing medical school, physicians or surgeons may further their education in a specific branch of medicine by completing a multiple-year residency to become a specialist. A medical specialty is a professional practice that is focused on a particular group of patients, diseases, or skills.
