RCP Medical careers day
About the event
We’re pleased to bring you news from the RCP Medical careers day – a dedicated careers conference and exhibition designed to offer expert careers advice and guidance to medical students, foundation doctors and core trainees.
What last year’s medical students had to say:
‘The event was excellent and I would highly recommend it to every medical student or foundation doctor, even if you think you know what sort of direction you want to go in, this opens your eyes to all the different specialties on offer. It was a great opportunity to speak to lots of enthusiastic people and ask lots of questions. I thought it was great value for money and very well organised.’
Miss Emma Collins, 3rd year medical student, University of Bristol
‘Fantastic event, have strongly recommended to friends and would go to another in the future.’
Mr Andrew Donohue, medical student, Newcastle University
Dedicated workshops for medical students
As well as keynote sessions from high-profile speakers, the programme will feature workshops specifically tailored for medical students. Sessions will include information on building your portfolio in foundation years, making the most of medical school, electives, fellowships and much more. Take a look at the full programme on the RCP events diary.
Don’t miss our speaker:
Professor Parveen Kumar, Professor of Medicine and Education at Barts and the London, Queen Mary, University of London, will be talking on ‘Careers beyond clinical medicine’. She changed the face of medical publishing when she co-authored Kumar and Clark’s ‘Clinical Medicine’ in 1989 (8th edition 2012). She is a past vice-president of the RCP, president of the BMA, president of the Royal Society of Medicine, chairman of the Medicines Commission UK, and a founding non-executive director of NICE. She has been involved with medical education, both under- and post-graduate, and examines for MBBS, PACES and other PG degrees, both home and abroad.
'I am delighted to be a part of this excellent day and tell you about the exciting things you can do beyond clinical medicine!’
Professor Parveen Kumar
