Events
The Careers team at the RCS attend a number of careers fairs in the regions in order to disseminate information to all Medical Students, Foundation and Core Trainees. We hope to see you at one of these events.
We also host a number of Careers Sessions and events aimed at our affiliates and trainees.
Forthcoming events:
Building on our successful 'Light-box lecture' series the Wellcome Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons in association with AposTherapy offers a free evening devoted to sports surgery and medicine.
Sports Surgery Q&A session
Wednesday 9 May, 6.30-9pm
At a time when sport is at the forefront of everyone's mind we would like to offer you the opportunity to learn more about the fields of sports medicine and surgery as well as non-invasive techniques for correcting common sporting injuries.
A broad panel of experts whose skills span the sporting profession will discuss their work and answer your questions. This panel will include:
Mr Panos Thomas
Consultant Orthopaedic Sports and Knee Surgeon practising at the Whittington Hospital and appointed National Tutor in Orthopaedic Sports Surgery by the Royal College of Surgeons.
Gary Anderson
Performance director of British Bobsleigh. Previous roles include managing Britain's curling teams at the Vancouver Olympics Games and performance manager at British Judo.
Dr AmitMor
Co-founder and Medical Director of AposTherapy.
Nils Jackson
Sports Physiotherapist for the American School in London, caring for athletes in U18-level sports. Nils has previous experience with the Medical Team for US Championship Taekwondo, Western Rodeo and NATO.
During the evening you will have the opportunity to use AposTherapy's gait analysis system - a method used to assess the way we walk or run and to highlight biomechanical abnormalities.
This
practical demonstration will be followed by a Q&A session with the panel
and will finish with an opportunity to view the current exhibition Anatomy of an Athlete: Elite sport, surgery
and medical art.
This event is free but places are limited and will be allotted on a 'first come, first served' basis.
Please email museums@rcseng.ac.uk or call 020 7869 6560 to reserve your place.
