Show that the message is specific

Name the programme, your current role, your training stage and the period you are considering. Explain in one sentence why that pathway fits your objective.

Ask only unresolved questions

Read the official page first. Ask about facts that remain unclear, such as eligibility, registration, dates, funding or the application route.

Make the reply easy

Use a clear subject line, short paragraphs and a focused CV. Avoid sending confidential patient information or large unsolicited attachments.

Apply the guide to real programmes

Compare source-backed programme profiles and keep every unresolved fact visible.
