Participants will have the opportunity to explore RCPI’s membership exams and engage with senior RCPI training programme directors, trainers, and trainees during a networking reception at the end of the day. 

The morning session will be delivered by experienced RCPI Trainers, focusing on best practices for tackling common clinical scenarios. A series of talks will equip interns with essential knowledge and skills for successful internships, including: 

  • Habits of Highly Effective Interns by Dr Sam Kant 
  • Approach to Hypotension on the Wards by Dr Paul O'Hara 
  • Acid, Base, and Electrolytes by Dr Donal Sexton 
  • The Evaluation of Acute Confusion by Dr Hugh Kearney 
  • Causes and Management of Hypoxia by Dr Sarah O’Beirne 

This will be followed by a series of informative sessions in the afternoon, where attendees will receive expert advice on navigating the application process for various BST programmes. There will be a dedicated Q&A panel to address any specific queries. 

Additionally, interns will hear directly from the Deans and Directors of Education & Training representing various RCPI BST training programmes, including General Internal Medicine, General Paediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, and Histopathology. Insights into BST pathways leading to careers in Public Health and Occupational Medicine will also be shared. 

This event is a unique opportunity for interns to gain knowledge, receive practical advice, and network with senior RCPI Training Programme Directors, Trainers and Trainees. You can register here.
