How does a medical student begin in research and how can that journey shape your career?
We are delighted to welcome Dr Siddarth Kannan, a Specialised Foundation Doctor at Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and Honorary Lecturer at the University of Lancashire.
In this session, Dr Kannan will share his personal journey into research, reflecting on:
✨ How he first got involved in research as a medical student
✨ The steps he took to secure opportunities and mentorship
✨ How he built an academic CV alongside clinical training
✨ Lessons learned from publishing 25+ peer-reviewed papers and presenting at 15+ national and international conferences
With a special interest in neuroscience, particularly Functional Neurological Disorders and Neuro-oncology, Dr Kannan will offer practical, honest insights for students at any stage.
