Academic Programmes

Introduction

These have been developed for students who are interested in an academic career. They aim to offer training programmes for potential future clinical academics that attract the best graduates, fire their enthusiasm for a clinical academic career path, and allow them to develop ideas about future areas of research interest. There are currently 12 programmes affiliated to Brighton & Sussex Medical School (based at Brighton), 18 programmes affiliated to KCL Medical School (based at Guy's & St Thomas' Hospital or King's College Hospital), and 15 affiliated to St George's University of London Medical School (based at St George's or Royal Surrey County Hospital).

 The Rough Guide to the Academic Foundation Programme is available on the UKFPO website.
