Overview
As part of the College’s international engagement initiatives, we strive to promote a deeper understanding of the surgical training requirements in the UK for medical students, house officers and medical officers. This topic will look at the personal journey of Mr Jie Lim, a General Surgeon in the NHS England - Health Education Yorkshire and Humber, with an interest in Oesophagogastric subspecialty. The webinar will pave the way towards levelling up audience’s work game to get ahead. Among others, the speaker will articulate and illustrate on how-to guides, tips and sharing insights that make all the difference in training in the UK.
