The Stanford Skills Symposium is an annual event which brings together medical educators from around the world to foster clinical teaching skills. We aim to build a sense of community among all those who attend and to increase both individual physical examination skills as well as the ability of those in attendance to teach and evaluate the clinical skills of their learners. We accomplish this with lectures by expert clinicians, live demonstrations and hands on workshops using both real and standardized patients. The content is aimed at early and mid-career physician educators, but would also be appropriate for chief residents and senior residents looking for a career in medical education. This year we are excited to offer a poster session for attendees to present research and clinical cases that are related to bedside medicine and physical examination.

St. Andrew's Day Festival: Updates On Acute Medicine

The St Andrew’s Day Festival Symposium is the highlight of the RCPE’s educational year and brings together a vast array of international leaders covering the breadth of medicine and its specialties. The symposium will be of great interest to clinicians from all areas including those involved with acute and general medicine, emergency medicine and those physicians who require updates on advances outside their own specialty. The programme will also be relevant to doctors at all levels of training, general practitioners, specialist nurse practitioners and allied health professionals.

Note: The symposium is full on both days and a waiting list is now in operation.  Places will be offered on a first-come-first served basis.  Please contact Fiona MacDougall (f.macdougall@rcpe.ac.uk) or Helen Elliott (h.elliott@rcpe.ac.uk) if you wish to be added to the waiting list.

Please do not book your travel or accommodation until your place has been confirmed by the RCPE.
