How do I know I want to be an academic? Luke Boyle @ld_boyle #bmacatc
Plan for the workshop • Brief view from me • Discussion of how you know you want to be academics in groups (5 min) • Feedback (5-10 min) • Discussion of what puts you off (5 min) • Feedback and questions (5-10 min) @ld_boyle #bmacatc
How I know (in a nutshell)… • Med school: teaching with QUB Scrubs, intercalated MPH, research in States • Practicing translational medicine • This conference last year! • My academic foundation programme • Obesity, great supervisor and unit • Research mainly, teaching, Aintree JDCA @ld_boyle #bmacatc
How do YOU know? • Take 5 minutes in groups • Few examples to start you off: • Enjoy research/teaching • Experience from intercalated degree • Academically gifted • Special interest already • Like being busy @ld_boyle #bmacatc
What puts you off it then? • Take 5min and list concerns you have about this career path, or problems you foresee… • Examples to start you off: • Coping with rejection? • Maintaining trust of patients & colleagues • Family life & work/life balance @ld_boyle #bmacatc
