We are delighted to launch BEAMS: Black Excellence in Academic Medicine & Surgery 🎉 BEAMS is the first UK network dedicated to empowering and supporting medical students of Black heritage to pursue opportunities and careers in academic medicine and surgery. Watch this space!💡

Only 1% of professors in the UK are Black; Black clinicians are hugely under-represented in academic medicine in the UK. Our main aim is to empower Black-heritage medical students to pursue opportunities and careers in academic medicine and surgery. Let's build #beamsnetwork 💡

Had an AMAZING launch event on Monday with our medical student panel on intercalation, as part of the "INSPIRE Nights" series. Next INSPIRE Night is on 13/03/23, 6.30-7.45pm at the Uni of Leeds (save the date!). Free pizza too! Sign up here bit.ly/3T0DerW #beamsnetwork💡
