Career focus

	I am in my preregistration house officer year but applying for senior house officer jobs. I want to do general practice in the long term but would also like to do more medicine first, and would quite like to travel abroad, for example, with Voluntary Services Overseas after a GP vocational training scheme. Any advice about whether a foundation year 2 post or a medical rotation would be better?
