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 some experience of being in a Balint group, either through their university or at a Balint Society supported event.
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 8pm – 9pm once a month via Zoom throughout the academic year.
