Royal College
of Physicians (RCP), in partnership with Peerless Hospital, is now accepting applications of
interest to join the Medical Training Initiative (MTI)
Scheme.
The MTI scheme offers the opportunity of 2 years clinical
training and experience in UK National Health Service (NHS)
hospital trusts for a small number of suitably qualified
international medical graduates.
If appointed to a position after joining the scheme, doctors
will be directly contracted to an NHS Trust and be
remunerated at standard UK rates. Positions are currently
available in a number of hospitals across the UK at both
core medical and specialty training grades.
For those appointed, the RCP is able to assist with
facilitating professional registration with the General
Medical Council and a Tier 5 visa for the UK under the Government Authorised Exchange Category. This visa category is
restricted to a maximum of 2 years, with no return to work
in the UK under the same category for a further period of 5 years.
|
The
criteria for applications to the scheme includes:
having been engaged in clinical practice/training for 3 or
more years since
obtaining your primary medical qualification
having achieved a minimum IELTS score of 7.0 in all
categories within the
last 2 years. Please see www.ielts.org for information on your
nearest test
centre.
having obtained a postgraduate qualification equivalent to
the level of the
MRCP(UK) within the last 5 years or have passed MRCP part 1 within
the
last 2 years. |
If short
listed for the scheme, you will be interviewed in your home
country using a UK standard interview format to assess
knowledge and communication skills.
To apply for the scheme, please contact Mr. Subir Saha,
Assistant Manager (Academic), on Telephone (033)2462-2394
(10 a.m. to 6 p.m.), Mobile 9831679101 or email to

Important information:
The MTI scheme has been set up to facilitate UK
clinical training opportunities for a small
number of international medical graduates. This
scheme is in no way a route to settlement in the
UK as you will be required to leave the UK at
the end of your training under the requirements
of the Tier 5 visa category. Acceptance to the
MTI scheme does not guarantee placement at a UK
hospital, and those accepted may have to undergo
a second interview with the hospital and will
have a probationary period built into their
contract. |
