Mr Frank Acquaah

BSc (Hons), MBBS, AKC, MRCS, PgCert Frank is currently a Darzi Fellow in clinical leadership and a trauma orthopaedic surgery ST3 on the Percivall Pott rotation in London. Frank obtained a BSc Hons degree in Surgery Anaesthesia from Imperial College London, before completing his medical degree at King College London. He went on to complete an orthopaedic themed core surgical training programme in London. Frank became involved in teaching on the <a href=\"https://www.sjtpreparation.co.uk/\" target=\"_blank\">SJT Preparation</a> course as he wanted to help final year students to perform well in an exam that is very different to what they would normally be used to. He found SJT Preparation through a friend and it seemed like the perfect company to partner with. He hopes his experiences of completing the exam can help others to do well and get a location of their choice for foundation training.
