Join the School of Medical Sciences in the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health to examine and challenge inequalities in clinical academic careers with a live panel discussion. Inequalities in any career trajectory is often described as a ‘leaky pipeline’. Women and Black Asian Minority Ethnic (BAME) individuals are the least likely to progress along the clinical academic career trajectory.
• What factors affect access to clinical academic careers?
• Why, and when, do inequalities occur?
• What are the main reasons for leaving clinical academia?
• What support is available to facilitate equality?
To find out more, join panellists:
• Professor Gabrielle Finn, Professor of Medical Education and Vice Dean (Teaching, Learning and Students)
• Banji Adewumi MBE, Director Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
• Professor Margaret Kingston, Director of Undergraduate Medical Studies,
• Dr Rebecca Farrington, GP & Senior Clinical Lecturer, School of Medical Sciences
• Mr George Obolo, Third-year medical student at the University of Manchester and Co-Founder of The Black Excellence Network.
Available to attend in person and online.
