Jumpstarting your PhD in Family Medicine

The objective of this workshop is to equip workshop participants with an approach to planning their PhD journey and identifying activities in their PhD portfolio.

This 6-hour workshop is structured to allow for interactive input, learning from recent PhD graduates’ experiences, but importantly, to receive direct input and feedback on your PhD question and proposal via small group work and shared reflections. We will be catering for around 20 participants and hope that this workshop will also help create a community of practice to support you as you commence the PhD journey.

The workshop is aimed at prospective PhD candidates in Family Medicine who are about to start their journey and have a particular research question in mind.
