Clinical Lessons

Collegiate Members, Associate Members, Medical Students and Foundation Year Members of any of the UK Royal Colleges (Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, the Royal College of Physicians & Surgeons of Glasgow & the Royal College of Physicians of London).

Abstracts are invited from Collegiate Members, Associates & Medical Students and Foundation Year Members of any of the UK Royal Colleges (listed above) for the Clinical Lessons sessions at our Medical Trainees Conference. Those who have been chosen to present will be invited to deliver their talk in person at the conference.  

Cases should be relevant to general medicine audience. Cases pertaining to different medical specialities (for example paediatrics or surgery) will not be considered.  The submission should be an abstract and should follow the typical case report structure (i.e., history, examination, differential diagnoses, relevant investigation results, management) & highlight an important lesson from the case. The total abstract word limit is 250 words.

The highest scoring submission by a resident doctor and a medical student will be invited to present their case as an oral presentation. If your abstract is not accepted as a clinical lesson oral presentation then we may invite you to present your abstract as a moderated poster or poster on the day. This poster will be invited to be displayed in person on the day of the event and we will also ask you submit a PDF of your poster for our virtual attendees. Poster prizes will be awarded on the day. More information can be found on our submission guidance.
