These posts allow medical and dental trainees to combine research training with clinical training ready to compete for a Research Training Fellowship leading to a PhD.
As an Academic Clinical Fellow, you are funded to spend 25% of your time over a period of up to three years (up to four years for GP trainees) in a formal programme of research preparation, research training and research activity, whilst continuing with your clinical training and achieving the required clinical competencies.
Posts are available in a range of disciplines. Core Medical Training posts will be based at University Hospital Birmingham Foundation Trust and at Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospital Trust. All will be following a general medicine rotation during the first 2 years before embarking on specialty training in the 3rd year.
