The RSM National Finals Conference returns for a second year to prepare students to approach their final written examinations with confidence. This webinar will be of benefit to students in all years of their training and is open to all who wish to consolidate their learning on high-yield medical and surgical topics.

Our speakers from multiple specialties will deliver a concise and comprehensive overview of their specialty throughout of the day and delegates will be equipped with an approach towards the investigation and management of common conditions.

Additionally, we will be hosting a poster competition for students and foundation trainees to showcase their research, with prizes available for winning posters.

This is a great opportunity for students to showcase research and quality improvement projects. This webinar will raise awareness for the RSM and the Students Section, within the medical student cohort and highlight the benefits of membership for students.

During this session, participants will be able to:

  • Provide students with high-yield knowledge to prepare for their final examinations
  • Provide an opportunity for students to gain skills in abstract and poster preparation at a national conference

This webinar is available for on-demand viewing. The webinar recording will be available for registered delegates up to 60 days after the live webinar broadcast via Zoom.
