Medical Scholarships

The BSACI is offering financial support for the 2024 BSACI Annual Conference by providing funding for medical students. With the increasing prevalence of allergy within the UK population and the shortage of allergy expertise, the BSACI is offering medical students the opportunity to apply for a scholarship 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:

1. 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.
2. We will cover your conference fees, your hotel accommodation and your travel expenses (up to £140).
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Abstract submission for the conference is encouraged but is not a requirement. The deadline for Abstracts is the 10th of June 2024.
7. Submissions open on Friday 02 February 2024.
8. Submissions must be emailed to [email protected] no later than Friday 19 July 2024.
9. You will be notified of the outcome of your application no later than Friday 02 August 2024
