## FAQs

### Are FY2 jobs advertised as FY2?

Some are, but many are advertised with related titles such as F2, SHO, junior clinical fellow, trust doctor, trust grade, or locally employed doctor. Job Clerk treats FY2 as junior doctor intent so you can see the wider set of suitable posts.

### Can I apply for FY2-equivalent jobs after completing internship overseas?

Possibly. Many trusts ask for Foundation competences or equivalent clinical experience plus GMC registration. Overseas experience may be acceptable if you can evidence supervised practice, emergency care, prescribing, communication, and professional behaviours expected at foundation level.

### Do FY2-equivalent jobs help with specialty applications?

They can. A good FY2-equivalent post can provide UK references, audit or QI evidence, teaching, specialty exposure, and workplace-based assessments. Check whether the advert offers portfolio support and named supervision.

### What is the difference between FY2 and SHO?

FY2 is a specific foundation training year. SHO is broader search language for junior doctor work and may include FY2, CT1, CT2, junior clinical fellow, and trust grade posts. Always check grade equivalence and supervision in the advert.
