Trainee Awards

Applications to the BSMD 2024 Trainee Award are now open (closing date 23 February 2024). This is an excellent opportunity to fund individualised programmes of medical dermatology training. Fellowships will be awarded in open competition to UK and Eire dermatology trainees (including post CCT fellows). Each award will be funded up to a maximum value of £2500.

 

A suggested programme might include a variety of experiences across one or more centres with medical dermatology expertise, and may include participation in clinics, multi-disciplinary team meetings and ward rounds. Preference is given to those arranging a focused programme of activity in a specific area of medical dermatology. In addition, attendance at a relevant national or international medical dermatology meeting or conference is supported. The fellowship will be expected to be taken up within six months of the award being made.

 

Dermatology Specialty Specific Examination is a desirable qualification. All applications must be from BSMD trainee members and should provide full and realistic costings.

​

The BSMD website advertises a directory of UK medical dermatologists who have offered to provide clinical experience in their areas of expertise. Potential applicants should contact members of this UK medical dermatology training network to enquire about availability and help construct their suggested award programmes. It would be acceptable to have several supervisors at different sites as components of a single award. Focus on a particular medical dermatology field, rather than broad experience, is preferred.

 

Further information regarding the application process and judging procedures can be found on the BSMD Trainee Awards webpage (https://www.bsmd.org.uk/trainee-awards).
