Session Title: BOA SAS Session: Portfolio Pathway
Session Description:
The introduction of the Portfolio Pathway, as a replacement for the CESR process for membership of the specialist register, has brought with it the benefit of less restrictive criteria. However, the wider options for evidence came mean less clarity for some who want to pursue this route. This session offers expert advice from the leaders in the field including the SAC lead for the portfolio pathway.
A wider panel of portfolio pathway experts will also be providing a Q&A session, with an excellent opportunity to clarity any queries and address any uncertainties.
For those interested in the T&O Portfolio Pathway (TOPP), the 'GMC Specialty Specific Guidance (SSG) for the Portfolio Pathway' is available on the BOA SAS webpage (search BOA SAS), along with other important GMC. Make the most of this session but reviewing the SSG before the session, as this clear and helpful document answers most of the common questions for applicants.
