About this webinar
Many of us gained a chance to see medicine's best kept secret (a career in anaesthesia) through chance meetings with kind anaesthetists taking us under their wing, or lucky selection of modules and electives as undergraduates. We want to create equity of opportunity for those who haven't had those experiences, and to introduce you all to our world.
Welcome to part 1 of our 3-part series ‘Journey into Anaesthesia’. A series of webinars designed by anaesthetic trainees for future anaesthetic trainees. Many Doctors and Medical Students are often intrigued as to what a career in anaesthesia looks like but due to a lack of exposure to the specialty will often never find out about Medicine’s best kept secret. This first webinar will focus on giving you a rundown of the life of an anaesthetist and an exploration into some of the different sub-specialties so you can decide whether a career in anaesthesia is for you!
Login will be available from 17:45, but the broadcast will not start until 18:00.
