Oncology Society

Hello and Welcome to Barts Oncology Society!

We are a society dedicated to all the aspects of cancer management, from primary care screening all the way to cutting-edge research that hasn’t been seen in the clinic yet. Our aim is to help you engage with oncology and increase awareness of the opportunities for research and clinical practice in this field. 

As oncology is not a big part of medical school curriculum, we would would like to offer you a number of events which would allow you to explore this specialty further and become more familiar of what it takes to be an oncologist!

This year events will include:

TALKS

• ?Talks from external speakers on how to get into oncology, life as an oncologist, cancer research
• Talks on more general topics, such as applying for specialised foundation programme (SFP) and getting into research

CANCER CRASH COURSE

• Talks held for younger years covering essential information needed to ace cancer content in Funmed and Year 1/2 end of year exams

CONFERENCE

• Oncology conference in collaboration with other London Medical schools with various talks from external speakers, an opportunity to present posters, and much more!

MENTORSHIP SCHEME

• pair up with an oncologist and shadow him/her in their day to day life
• learn what is this specialty about
• get to see both clinical and scientific sides of oncology

And much more!! Hope to see you all at our events so that you can see by yourself why cancer is everybody’s business!
