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 current challenges faced by underrepresented groups in gaining access to clinical research opportunities and higher education. 2. To discuss and learn from success stories where strides have been made in diversifying clinical research and academia, with a focus on learning from protected internships. 3. To evaluate the impact of socioeconomic factors such as income and parenting on the research and clinical experience of underrepresented groups. 4. To engage in future-focused discussion and explore ways to further enhance support for these groups within the medical and academic sectors. 5. To become adept at implementing strategies designed to bridge the gap for underrepresented groups in clinical research and academia, using knowledge gathered from presentations and discussions throughout the conference.
