Hello everyone,

Sheffield Academic Medicine Society are excited to announce our 2nd session in the specialised foundation programme (SFP) teaching series!!

Event Details - 26th of September, 6-7pm

Following on from our 'What is the SFP?' session, we will now be focusing on how to apply to the SFP and what to consider when applying!

We will be looking at the self scoring sheet for Yorkshire and Humber to help guide your application and ensure you are well prepared :)

For younger years, this session will go through things you can do during medical school to help prepare you, if you are considering applying to the SFP in a few years.

Hello everyone,

We are excited to announce our upcoming SAMS Teaching Series on the UKFPO Specialised Foundation Programme (SFP)!

We will be hosting a few virtual sessions across september to help guide 3rd, 4th and 5th year medical students through the SFP applications. Additionally, we will run some sessions later on for earlier years on how to maximise your time at medical school in preparation for SFP!

Although these sessions will provide a general guide through the SFP application process, our teaching series will more specifically focus on the Yorkshire and Humber SFP, to help guide Sheffield Medical students.

*Our First Event*

What is the Specialised Foundation Programme?

Will be hosted on zoom on the 5th of September between 6-7PM by Dr Jack Allen & Dr Kartik Goyal.

This session will run through what the SFP is, the types of SFP, what it will do for your career and what to expect through the application process!

***MOCK POSTER PRESENTATION EVENING***

SAMS (Sheffield Academic Medicine Society), in collaboration with MEDSOC, are hosting a SSC poster presentation event in 3 weeks at the Medschool Cafe, 6pm, Thursday 24th November.

Create an academic poster based on your SSC research and practice presenting it to professionals in a safe and friendly environment. SAMS will get your poster printed in A1 size and you can take it home after the event.

This is an unbelievable opportunity to experience what it will be like at a conference and a great way to sample the academic side of medicine.
