About Chris Bosshardt

I built up experience and exposure in SEM from my foundation programme, including F3-5. I completed an MSc in Sports, Exercise & Health, and then completed my training in General Practice (one of the 3 routes into SEM Specialty Training). All the while, I was gaining part-time roles in Sports and MSK medicine. After 2-3 years working as a GP, I decided to apply for SEM Specialty Training. BASEM arranges a national annual conference, they offer student rates of membership, and it is a great place to start. Their website also offers courses, some useful info sheets, as well as a job vacancies platform. They have student poster competitions, so worth submitting to try and gain some valuable application points. There are student groups who also offer talks and conferences; if there isn’t something local, consider setting up a small group. Helping on these committees showcases great ‘commitment to specialty’
