Careers Support

Galenicals have a careers rep to help students learn more about what happens once you graduate from medical school and become a doctor. It can be confusing deciding what you want to do and finding out how to achieve it, and so Galenicals aims to make this easier.

Careers talks are held (usually once a term), with doctors from different specialities coming along to explain about what they do.

There are various career-orientated documents on the careers pages of the website, and emails will be sent out to students with ‘core’ information as it changes, however if you want further information or have any questions, please email careers@galenicals.org.uk

 

 

Careers Rep: Tim Stubbs

Tim Stubbs Careers Rep careers@galenicals.org.uk At present there are drastic changes being made both to the NHS and to medicine as a career, at all stages. It is therefore very important that the Medical Students at the University of Bristol are kept up to date with all that is changing ahead of us. With this in mind, Galenicals organise a number of events to look after your future careers. From MTAS meetings to ‘inspirational careers’ evenings, we aim to offer you valuable insight into the broad spectrum of jobs out there so that you can make informed choices when it comes to your future career. Also there are also a number of “academic societies” (all of which are advertised in the “academic societies” section) who can put you in contact with approachable professionals who are more than happy to answer questions and give information to those who show enthusiasm. Bristol Medical School has always been in tune with peoples future careers and we aim to maintain this strong support system.
