Building your NHS career: next steps for international medical graduates
The RCP are pleased to host an online webinar aimed at International Medical Graduates (IMG's) in their first few years of NHS experience. The webinar will introduce attendees to the various options for postgraduate training in the UK, tips for building a comprehensive portfolio, how to make the most from your supervisor and the logistics of applying to Internal Medicine Training (IMT).
We hope that by the end of this webinar participants will feel more familiar with the main career progression pathways within the NHS, in particular preparations for entry into IMT, and have increased confidence in navigating these.
A certificate of attendance will be provided.
