What is TakeAIM?

TakeAIM is a successful trainee-led initiative established in 2015 that aims to boost the profile of Acute Internal Medicine amongst doctors in training and medical students. We do this in numerous ways including careers fairs, regional meetings, social media and our annual national conference.

The current team of fellows are looking for three AIM trainees (ST4+) from across the United Kingdom to apply for a year long fellowship, aiming to start in June 2025.

TakeAIM is supported by the Society for Acute Medicine (SAM) who value the contribution made by the fellows.  As part of the fellowship, SAM offers a bursary of up to £500 for an educational opportunity of the fellow’s choosing – recently these have included attending conferences relevant for their specialist skill, or towards research opportunities.
