About this event
Join the RCPCH Medical Recruitment Team for one or both evening sessions (18:00 - 20:30) to hear about the recruitment process into sub-specialty training, ask questions and speak to post graduate doctors in training (PGDiT) and consultants working in paediatric sub-specialties.
The sessions will take place online on Microsoft Teams. The RCPCH Medical Recruitment Team will deliver a presentation on the recruitment process, followed by a Q&A in the first hour of both sessions. Then registrants will have up to one and a half hours to move freely between the virtual rooms and have the opportunity to ask paediatric sub-specialty PGDiTs and consultants any questions.
The Recruitment Team's presentation will be recorded and available to watch on the RCPCH YouTube channel and the sub-specialty application guidance web page after the event; however, the sub-specialty virtual rooms will not be recorded.

Highlights of the event from previous registrants
The event was very informative and was able to help me make a decision.
Getting to interact with specialists in my interested field and having to hear experiences from current trainees. It was a good overview and interactive session.
Very enlightening. Practical examples of each of the specialties. Great opportunities to ask questions.
