Immunology Teaching Sessions
The ACP/BSI immunology training days are up and running again, via webinar. BSACI members can join these training days and the most cost effective way to do this is by joining BSI so they can attend all the training sessions throughout the year for free. Doctors in training posts can apply for the ‘early careers price’ and this should be highlighted on their application.
