GP Clinical Academic Fellowships set to grow ‘future leaders’
19th April 2024
The GP Clinical Academic Fellowships are now open for applications
The fellowships are designed to help newly qualified GPs gain an understanding of the challenges and opportunities of a clinical academic post in general practice.
They provide protected time to enable practical experience of research through apprenticeship to established primary care research teams, allowing the gaining of knowledge, skills, and confidence to compete for doctoral training fellowships.
The posts are designed to grow the clinical academic general practice leaders of the future.
Deadline for submitting the application form is 6 May 2024 with more information also available in the link.
