Academics |
The duration of the Academic Clinical Fellowship is 3 years / Lectureship is 4 years. During this time, alongside clinical training, you will develop your academic skills and will be supported in preparing an application for a Research Training Fellowship (to undertake a higher research degree) or an application for a place on an educational programme (leading to a higher degree). If you leave academic programme to undertake a PhD Fellowship (OOPR), then the academic post will finish, and you will return to clinical training following completion of the PhD Fellowship. If other types of OOP are undertaken, during an academic programme then normally the academic programme will come to an end; however, this is at the discretion of the HEE local office and NIHR Academy. At the end of your Academic Clinical Fellowship / Lecturership or upon return of an out of programme fellowship you will return to the clinical training programme to complete your specialty training through to CCT. |
Please review the NIHR Integrated Academic Training (IAT) Programme guide for further information relating to ACF and ACL out of programme.
