BSACI is offering financial support to junior doctors to facilitate their ability to attend BSACI Annual Conference 2024. With the increasing prevalence of allergy within the UK and the shortage of allergy expertise, BSACI aims to support trainees to find out more about this evolving and dynamic specialty.
The 2024 BSACI Medical Scholarships Scheme is open to FY2 doctors, and IMT trainees in the UK. This is a fantastic opportunity for junior doctors to experience and hear from the experts what an exciting career in Allergy and Clinical Immunology looks like and how rewarding being a member of the UK allergy community can be.
How to apply:
- The scheme is open to current FY2 and IMT trainees interested in or considering a career in Allergy and Clinical Immunology (ACI) or Allergy, Clinical and Laboratory Immunology (ACLI). If you fall outside of these categories please contact us to discuss if you would be eligible.
- We will provide accommodation and allow you free access to the conference, plus reimburse travel costs (up to £140).
- The application involves supplying a letter (maximum 300 words) on detailing how you would benefit from this scholarship and a supporting letter from your current supervisor.
Priority will be given to:
a Applicants who have submitted an abstract to the conference (not essential)
b Applicants that show a strong commitment to a career in the specialty detailed in the application.
- Please also include how you can help increase awareness of the specialty of allergy either within your department or with other trainees after the conference, such as a grand round presentation, a trainee learning event or a department meeting.
- Abstract submission for the conference is encouraged but is not a requirement. The deadline for Abstracts is the 10th of June 2024.
- Submissions open on Friday 2nd February 2024.
