Description & schedule

Summary

Join us at The Beacon Conference 2024 for a unique learning experience about increasing opportunities for under-represented groups in the higher education sector. Themed "Bridging the Gap," this conference focuses on widening access to clinical research, mentorship, and discussing ways to support our future clinical academics. Hear directly from interns about their research projects, gain valuable insights from keynote speakers, and get involved in discussions on underrepresentation in academia and planning for the future. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with students and staff from universities across the UK, celebrate success, and share best practices in higher education.

Learning objectives

  1. To understand the importance of widening participation in higher education, particularly amongst under-represented groups, and the role of protected internships in achieving this.
  2. To gain insights into best practices for bridging the gap in higher education, specifically in the field of clinical research, and how these can be implemented in one's own practice.
  3. To develop a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with income disparities in medical research and clinical experiences, and strategies to address them.
  4. To explore the dynamic relationship between parenthood, research, and clinical experience, and its impact on professional development in the medical field.
  5. To prepare for the future by discussing prospective strategies for widening participation, service development, and institutional expansion. This includes understanding the potential for further inclusion efforts and the pathway towards a more diverse and representative medical community.
