SubjectSuppoRTT (Supported Return to Training)
DescriptionThe Yorkshire and Humber Deanery is scoping the viability of introducing a region-wide peer mentoring or buddy scheme for International Medical Graduates (IMGs). We want to ensure that any programme is designed to reflect the needs and priorities of our IMGs, so we are inviting all IMGs from across the deanery to participate in some online focus groups. These meetings will be interactive and discursive, to understand your preference for a buddying or peer mentoring format, your interest in participating in such a scheme, and what you think it should focus on to be as supportive as possible to IMGs.
