Medical Training Initiative (MTI)
Train and work in the UK
The Medical Training Initiative (MTI) allows international junior and middle-grade doctors to train and work in the UK for up to 2 years, whilst enabling NHS Boards and Trusts to fill rota gaps with high quality staff.
As an MTI trainee you will receive specialty training supervised by an experienced and qualified NHS consultant for up to 2 years. We aim to tailor the training plan to suit your educational and career objectives as closely as possible, in order for you to gain skills that will equip you for the work you plan to undertake back home.
We will sponsor your GMC registration and visa to the UK, or to support the NHS Board/Trust in applying for your visa (whichever visa route is most appropriate to you.
If you have postgraduate qualifications, experience in a clinical practice and experience in your speciality, download our MTI Scholarship PDF to see if you can benefit from the RCPE scholarship. Do you work for the NHS and want support to fill a vacant post? Visit our NHS MTI page here.
