Clinical Specialities Society

NOT SURE WHICH SPECIALTY IS FOR YOU? LET US HELP. KCL CSS is the first and only society to offer convenient accessibility to a wide variety of specialties, catering to both medical and dental students alike. CLINICAL SPECIALTIES EVENINGSOur clinical specialties events are completely free, monthly, medical and dental events covering a wide range of specialties and career pathways. Our engaging clinician speakers will aim to cover the challenges and rewards unique to each specialty, talk about their personal experiences and struggles, and give advice on progressing in the field.Aiming for a non-biased approach, clinicians will NOT be selling their specialty to you. We aim to give KCL students a realistic image of what it is like in different specialties (and subspecialties) at different stages of the career, how it affects work-life balance etc. We'll be hosting events on all specialties (especially those underrepresented at KCL) in a systematic and structured fashion throughout the year.Established in 2018, over the past two years we have showcased well over 40 specialties over the course of almost 30 events. Our events are attended by students undecided on a specialty as well as those already set on a specific career path.  YOUNG ACADEMICSWe also run the Young Academics Scheme, an innovative research pairing scheme, which sources and advertises research projects open to involving students across different disciplines, and pairs motivated students with dedicated supervisors. Through this scheme some students have gained the opportunity to become published authors or present their work at national conferences.
