About the course
This one-day event encourages medical students to take part in research, with a morning session of both oral and poster presentations, followed by a guest lecture and an afternoon of research presentations by surgical trainees. This symposium is a great opportunity for students interested in a surgical career to engage and network with surgical trainees and consultants, academics and senior clinicians. Registration: Open to Medical Students & FY1.
Run in conjunction with Edinburgh University, School of Surgery Day. The morning programme provides a forum for high quality student research to be presented in both oral and poster format. The afternoon session which focuses on research conducted by surgical trainees, gives medical students who have an interest in Academic Surgery an opportunity to engage and network with surgical trainees, consultants, academics’ and senior clinicians.
The Symposium aims to- 1. Increase awareness of the importance of clinical research in surgery amongst medical students. 2. To give medical students an opportunity to present oral and poster research as well as a chance to network with senior clinicians, who may in the future be willing to act as a supervisor or senior surgical contact.
