About this Event
Who is the course for?
This course is aimed at Foundation Year, Core trainees, and final-year medical students of Black African, Black Caribbean, or Black mixed heritage.
Black trainees are less likely to get their first choice of Foundation programme, less likely to pass their specialty exams and less likely to complete their surgical training. They are also underrepresented in surgery leadership positions in the UK.
Description of the course
This is a bespoke leadership and career development course designed to help nurture essential skills for your surgery career and leadership journey. You will engage in interactive workshops, talks, and panel discussions. This course also features consultant-led roundtable discussions to help you navigate some of the unique experiences and challenges Black doctors may encounter in training.
The course is supported by the Healthcare Leadership Academy and Melanin Medics.
*Limited spaces are available, so book now to secure a place.
