Medical students
If you are thinking of a career in
general practice, becoming an Associate in Training (AiT) of the
RCGP is your next step on the GP training path. The Conference
provides you with the opportunity to interact with AiTs and
established GPs and also visit the many exhibition stands to get a
feel for what is happening in general practice and how it is
developing for the future. And what’s more, you can attend
for FREE!*
As part of the programme
at this year’s Conference we are delighted that Hull York Medical
School (HYMS), with support from the University of Sheffield and
University of Leeds, will be hosting a Student
Forum.
Medical students of all ages are
very welcome to attend the whole Conference but a specific stream
has been developed by the GP Society at HYMS for those with general
practice as their calling. Wherever you are studying, come and
share hopes and fears for the future.
