Doctors in Foundation Training
Our College provides opportunities for Foundation Doctors to develop the competencies, knowledge and skills required for progression through medical and surgical training.
The high cost of medical training is of great concern to us and we are working to find ways of reducing these costs. At just £2.50 per month, our Affiliate Membership is suitable for Foundation Year doctors, including those considering a gap year. Our College community provides access to heavily discounted rates on training courses and opportunities to apply for funding through our awards and scholarships programme.
