'Developing a career in academic medicine' workshops

Be inspired by academic medicine. Face the challenges with renewed confidence.

Discuss your career with Academy Fellows and other senior academics at these events. Build an effective network of contacts. Come away better equipped and motivated to pursue the career you want.

I came to the meeting not entirely sure what to expect, feeling a bit unsupported, and therefore unsure what career choices I should be making. I left feeling inspired and determined to keep pursuing my goals!
