My Favourite Tool for Every Doctor’s Career Growth: E-Logbooks!

As a doctor, I’ve come across tons of tools and resources that claim to help with career development. But my absolute favourite?

E-logbooks!

 

Why? Because they make life so much easier. Let me explain.

What Are E-Logbooks

Simply put, e-logbooks are digital tools that help you keep track of all your clinical skills and experiences in an organised way, from newest to oldest. Instead of manually logging everything, you have a system that does it for you—making it way easier to monitor your progress and for medical boards to recognize your specialised skills.

Why Are They So Great for Career Development? 

Here’s why I love them:

 

  • Track your patient cases effortlessly
    E-logbooks help you keep a record of all your patients and cases, making it super easy to reference them when needed.

  • Supervisors can validate your cases
    They simplify the process for trainers to review and validate your work, making evaluations smoother.

  • Find and submit evidence quickly 
    E-logbooks speed up the process of gathering and submitting the right evidence when you need it, saving you a lot of time.
  • Stay within document limits
    No need to count pages or worry about exceeding the 150-document limit—you’ll stay organised.

  • Submit evidence electronically
    Submitting your evidence is easy and meets the GMC’s requirements for electronic submission.

  • Keep things up to date
    Since everything is organised from newest to oldest, it’s a breeze to update your records and remove outdated info.

 

If this sounds like something you could use, try Medlogbook to log your medical experiences. I’ve created this to organise your competencies which could help with moving abroad. 

 

You can be better prepared for submitting work evidence, a requirement in most countries for practising. It checks off everything I just mentioned, and best of all, the registration process is super simple—just three easy steps!
