Meeting for Clinician Scientists in Training

"...a most enjoyable and educational meeting..."

"...thank you for such an excellent meeting..."

In 2001, discussions involving a number of groups interested in the future of academic medicine highlighted the lack of a cross-speciality forum in which clinical training fellows and those committed to a career in academic medicine could present their work, meet their peer group and obtain information on how to plan their careers. The Medical Research Society, the Academy of Medical Sciences and the Royal College of Physicians, London, therefore arranged such a meeting, in partnership with the major funding bodies for clinical research, the MRC, Wellcome Trust, CancerUK, BHF, ARC etc.

The first of these meetings was held in February 2002. This was an extremely successful meeting with over 180 abstracts being submitted for presentation. Since then the meetings have continued on an equally successful annual basis to form what is now widely recognised as the UK's premier multidisciplinary meeting for young researchers planning a career in academic medicine / clinical science.
