Clinical Academic Training Fellowships
This scheme has been developed to help address longstanding concerns about clinical academic careers. The scheme will be subject to competitive entry and will nurture a cadre of research-led clinical academics capable of going on to lead development in their discipline by providing the opportunity to undertake a PhD.
The scheme is open to individuals training in, or seeking to train in, all disciplines in medicine (including surgical disciplines, general practice, public health medicine etc) or dentistry, whether in primary or secondary care, however we are particularly keen to receive applications in the following areas where there is an identified national shortage of clinical academic expertise:
- surgery
- anaesthesia
- radiology
- psychiatry
- obstetrics and gynaecology
- lab based pathology specialties
- sexual health
- public health
The closing date for the next round of applications for Clinical Academic Fellowships has now passed and the outcomes will be placed on the website in the Summer. A note of outcomes from the 2011 round is available.
