Become an international member ahead of the RCPsych’s first Virtual International Congress
22 March, 2021
The RCPsych International Congress is the most ideal time to immerse yourself in the breadth of resource and knowledge available at the College. While Congress looks a bit different this year, the feeling of a global community united by the appreciation of the specialty – remains the same.
The RCPsych prides itself on being an international College that celebrates the diversity that our 3,500+ international members bring to the fold, as reflected in the RCPsych’s first ever International Strategy document. The College is heavily reliant on its six international divisions and the officers that represent them to convey their region’s interest in front of leadership and to raise awareness of local mental health issues that the RCPsych could support.
Becoming an international member – what is the right option for you?
Becoming a Pre-Membership Psychiatric Trainee (PMPT) member of the RCPsych is a great option for overseas early career professionals interested in building a global network of peers as well as accessing the College’s eLearning sites, College publications, reading lists and the opportunity to join Special Interest Groups. In addition to a heavily discounted registration rate at the upcoming Congress.
Our International Associate category is perfect for senior professionals who aren’t necessarily interested in the training pathway the MRCPsych provides, but would like to formally engage with the College, access eLearning, CPD and become formal members of the organisation. Naturally, a membership rate for Congress would apply.
What is on offer at this year's Congress?
The 2021 Congress (Monday 21 - Thursday 24 June) will be hosted on a new virtual platform, one that provides an immersive and interactive experience, without the need to travel.
You will be able to:
- network with thousands of fellow psychiatrists;
- attend keynote lectures from world renowned speakers;
- choose from over 60 cutting edge sessions;
- access up to 120 hours of CPD activity all in just one click;
- view all content on demand for 6 months after the event;
- watch not just some, but all of those sessions of interest to you.
