Getting a STEP ahead

Yesterday, trainees and Educational Supervisors from the North, headed to a bright but chilly Edinburgh to join others from across the Scotland Deanery for the STEP course.

STEP (Scottish Trainee Enhanced Programme) is a full day event held twice a year in Scotland. STEP is targeted at International Medical Graduates. I ha been running since 2014 and offers trainees an early insight into challenges they might face in GP training within the UK. During the day, through workshops and small group discussions, trainees can explore their own strengths and weaknesses and gain insight into the predictors of success.
