Are you sometimes PUZZLED by patients? INTRIGUED by your interactions? CONFUSED by your consultants’ reactions?
If so then we would like to offer you the opportunity to join a Balint group with medical students from all over the UK to continue exploring these ideas. The group is open to any clinical medical student who has had prior experience of clinical practice, and can be located anywhere in the world.
Previous students have found that the group has given them:
- An improved understanding and appreciation of the doctor-patient relationship
- The opportunity to build relationships with peers to share experiences
- An awareness of some of the challenges that might be faced as a doctor
- Increased confidence in presenting cases
The group currently runs from 7:30pm – 8:30pm once a month via Zoom throughout the academic year on the first Tuesday of each month.
Dates for the year ahead:-
- 7th October 2025
- 4th November 2025
- 2nd December 2025
- 6th January 2026
- 3rd February 2026
- 3rd March 2026
- 7th April 2026
- 5th May 2026
- 2nd June 2026
