Aspiring Surgeons Research Symposium
Careers Day
An annual calendar event. It aims to present medical students, interns, and SHOs with opportunity to learn more about a career in Surgery.
Training Programme Directors and trainees from each surgical specialty give talks outlining what the training and career in their chosen specialty is really like, with a breakout session after to provide more informal opportunities for discussion.
The Aspiring Surgeons Research Symposium is a pivotal part of the day, providing an opportunity for students and trainees alike to present original works.
Congratulations to Taya Keating and Michaela Corvi the respective winners of the 2024 Oral and Poster prizes.
Abstracts were published in the Irish Medical Journal.
