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:-
- 1st October 2024
- 5th November 2024
- 3rd December 2024
- 7th January 2025
- 4th February 2025
- 4th March 2025
- 1st April 2025
- 6th May 2025
- 3rd June 2025
