About the course

The Clinical MD programme is especially designed for overseas, early career medical practitioners who wish to undertake a substantial course of individual research and develop clinical skills related to general internal medicine. It will provide you with the recognition required to become a specialist in general internal medicine in your home country.

You'll undertake an individual research project on novel medical or healthcare delivery combined with related studies in general internal medicine supported by clinical placements at local NHS hospital sites. Mandatory checks will need to be undertaken before the start of the clinical placements. These checks usually take a few weeks and are:

  • an Occupational Health check;
  • a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) or criminal record check.

The duration of the programme is of 27 months, with a flexible starting date with two intakes per year.

All applicants have the option to be considered by the General Medical Council (GMC) for full registration with sponsorship. Additional entry requirements and fees apply.

The 27-month programme (Clinical MD only) is referred to as pathway 1; the GMC sponsored registered assessment training + Clinical MD programme as pathway 2. The choice of pathway does not affect the award given.

What’s next for my career?

While studying at the University of Hertfordshire and working at NHS hospitals, you'll be supported by a team of expert academics and practitioners from different specialties who are conducting world-leading research (3-4 REF) within the Centre of Health Services and Clinical Research.

You'll gain essential doctoral level knowledge and skills in general internal medicine, which will be recorded using an e-portfolio. You'll also benefit from our vibrant, dynamic and international community of postgraduate medical researchers and have the opportunity of living close to London.
