Primarily aimed at Scottish medical students and foundation doctors (but not exclusively!) our informal mini careers event on Friday 3 February from 1.00pm-3.30pm via Zoom hopes to provide information about how you can prepare for psychiatry training whilst in medical school and beyond.

We will also be hosting networking breakout sessions on various subspecialties including Psychotherapy, General Adult, Eating Disorders, Addictions, Child and Adolescent and Liaison. It's free to attend so register now! We look forward to seeing you there.

PS. Also includes a fun quiz!

The event will take place online via Zoom and registration is required. Register here.

We encourage all delegates, if not already, to sign up as RCPsych Student or Foundation Doctor Associates.  This is FREE and comes with a multitude of benefits if you are considering a career in psychiatry. Sign up here.
