Integrated academic trainees
We run a comprehensive teaching programme held weekly for all academic trainees within Bone and Joint Health and Specialist Foundation Doctors at Queen Mary.
This programme is led by Brett Rocos and is delivered by the academic team. Trainees benefit from hybrid online and in-person teaching of lectures, small group sessions and one-to-one mentoring sessions with supervisors.
