The four-month academic medicine post is aimed at individuals who wish to gain an insight into research and to help determine whether you have an aptitude for this, by conducting a research project. The Academic Medicine post may be hosted by any academic department within the University of Nottingham, including, but not limited to, Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics and Genetics. During the 4 month post individuals will complete a research project in a subject/area of their own choosing, working with a research active investigator with suitable experience and infrastructure to support you and your research project. With guidance, subject to supervisor availability, trainees in these placements will be able to arrange appropriate supervision in a specialty of their choosing thereby experiencing research in a clinical area of interest to the individual.
Although previously linked to clinical on call within Acute Medicine, these posts no longer contain any clinical commitment during the 4 month academic placement. This means you will have ample opportunity to complete projects and embed yourselves in the academic department you chose.
Medical Education Foundation doctors are provided with funding that will cover the cost (fully or partially depending on the course and provider) of a postgraduate qualification in medical education.
