Biography

Chris is a specialised foundation programme year 1 Doctor working in NHS Lothian. He attended Edinburgh Medical School as a post-grad, having studied BSc (Hons) Medical Sciences and MSc Human Anatomy prior to medical school. Chris is currently working towards applying for core surgical training and has a keen interest in academic ear, nose and throat surgery.

Description

This talk will provide an overview of why I applied to the specialised foundation programme and how I prepared for the application and interview. I will also provide a summary of my previous research experience, and my lab-based project that will be carried out during the specialised foundation programme research block (developing minimally invasive liquid biopsy assays to inform management decisions in HPV-negative oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma).

Summary

Join Dr. Chris Callaghan for an informative session on the path to becoming a clinical academic. This session aims to guide medical students on how to get involved in a Specialised Foundation Programme (ENT). Dr. Callaghan will share his personal experience, from his decision to apply, preparation for the application and interview, and his previous research undertakings. You'll gain key insights on lab-based projects, particularly focused on the development of minimally invasive liquid biopsy assays in HPV-negative oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma. Seize this opportunity to gain a clearer perspective into the world of academic ear, nose, and throat surgery.
