We discuss the positives, pitfalls, and perils of the new roles and the first impressions of three newly qualified FiY1 s in medical, obstetrics and gynaecology and surgical posts, a surgical FY1 doctor and a clinical supervisor in surgery. From the perspective of a surgical FY1 doctor working on a ward with an FiY1, the role of an interim F1 is much the same to that of a final year medical student with additional benefits of being able to prescribe, request investigations and complete medical documentation.	./cache/cord-349095-fnlgm4dv.txt	./txt/cord-349095-fnlgm4dv.txt
