junior doctors
Welcome!
Are you a doctor in training? If so, whatever your age, grade, chosen career path or region of the country, CMF has provision for you via the Junior Doctors' ministry.
We have much in common: workplace issues such as rota negotiations, antisocial working hours, postgraduate exams, appraisals and workplace-based assessments; ethical issues that challenge our faith through our day to day work; and the repercussions on our faith and personal lives of relocating for work (and the inevitable church-hopping that goes along with it).
Whilst our ability to commit to extracurricular activities (including church, homegroups and prayer circles) may be limited, our training years are an exciting time for us to develop our practice and work out how our faith and working lives interact.
CMF would love to support you through your time as a junior doctor. There are many ways in which you can get involved… Have you considered attending a regional CMF event, connecting with junior doctors in your area, or signing up for the pastoral care scheme? Naomi Pritchard (Chair of the CMF Junior Doctors' Committee) explains more…
