Continuing Professional Development
LSTM provides a wide variety of continuing professional development opportunities (CPD) within our study programme.
Thought about a career in evidence-informed health decision-making ?
Evidence-informed decision-making is the process of distilling and disseminating the best available evidence from research, practice and experience and using that evidence to inform and improve health policy and practice.
Centre for Evidence Synthesis in Global Health at LSTM is a WHO collaborating centre for evidence synthesis in infectious diseases. We are seeking to expand our busy team and are looking to recruit researchers to develop and conduct high quality related systematic reviews and policy development.
Being part of this Centre can provide excellent career development opportunities in evidence synthesis and evidence policy. We seek bright innovative thinkers with an eye for detail, including doctors and public health professionals in training, to work with us as part of systematic review teams. This work can be integrated into their existing training packages; through short term appointments; or through secondment from other institutions.
Our trainees are highly sought after, and we know that the experience provides them with unique advantages when applying for jobs in medicine, in research and in education; and there are opportunities within LSTM in building careers in evidence synthesis as the science and the methods expand.
The team will be pleased to answer queries on the current opportunities with reviews and appointments. Please contact Philomena.Hinds@lstmed.ac.uk
