Events
Currently, Exeter hosts two mandatory meetings per year, which allow clinical academic trainees to meet each other, to undergo required training (induction etc) and to have the opportunities to present and discuss their research. Trainees are strongly encouraged to join our active peer network, which includes clinical academic trainees in all years of their training. This provides an important resource for advice and support.
Throughout the year, ad-hoc seminars and workshops are run to support clinical academic trainees in progressing to the next steps of their career. These include topics such as ‘preparing an application for an ACL.’
All events will be posted on this page so keep an eye out for these.
The NIHR Integrated Academic Training (IAT) Research Day will be held on Tuesday 2nd June from 9.30am to 4.30pm (approx.) on Exeter's Streatham Campus (room TBC).
The day is an opportunity for ACFs, CLs, and other clinical academics in training and clinical PhD students from Exeter and Plymouth to share their research and network with colleagues. We would also like to invite supervisors and others involved in supporting clinical academic research to come along to network and hear the talks.
We anticipate that the programme will be similar to last year, with a mixture of lightning talks in the morning, and networking/skills development sessions for trainees later in the afternoon.
“These events are really important for us as they provide a rare opportunity to network, foster collaborations and learn from the experiences of other clinical academics. They also allow us to focus on training and development issues that are specific to the clinical academic career pathway.”
