Plan your fellowship application

Find suitable fellowships, confirm programme requirements and prepare your application with a practical checklist.

01 · Find your fit

Start with the training you need

Decide which specialty, clinical or research focus, location and duration fit your goals. Use the programme search, then save programmes to compare them side by side.

A clinical fellowship, observership and research post can offer very different experiences. Check the actual clinical responsibilities and supervision on each official programme page.

02 · Confirm the details

Check the current recruitment round

Open the official source linked from each profile. Confirm the intake year, application deadline and time zone, available positions, and application route. An old advert can describe a programme without accepting applications today.

“Not stated” means the directory cannot answer that question. It does not mean there are no requirements. “Open to IMGs” is a search aid; the programme must still confirm your individual eligibility.

Check required prior training, examinations, registration, language evidence, funding and any visa sponsorship directly with the institution. Requirements differ by programme and applicant.

03 · Ask the coordinator

Resolve these questions before applying

  • Is the next intake open, and what is the exact closing date?
  • Does my training background meet the entry requirements?
  • What clinical activities are permitted, and which registration is required?
  • Which documents and references are required, and how should they be submitted?
  • Is salary or funding available? Are there fees or costs I should budget for?
  • Does the institution support the relevant visa process for this particular post?

Use the contact on the official institution page. Include the programme name, intended intake and a short description of your training so the coordinator can answer specifically.

04 · Prepare and submit
