Medical Training Initiative

The Medical Training Initiative (MTI) is a mutually beneficial scheme that provides junior doctors from all over the world with the opportunity to work and train in the UK, while giving hospitals a high-quality, longer-term alternative to using locums to fill rota gaps.

The scheme facilitates General Medical Council (GMC) registration and tier 5 (Government Authorised Exchange) visa for those eligible. 

The RCP scheme is the largest of all UK college programmes, with more than 300 international medical graduates currently working in the UK.

Benefits to the MTI candidate:

  • Develop clinical, communication and leadership skills in a fast-paced supportive environment
  • Free use of the ePortfolio system to log all evidence of their experience, competencies and courses for their entire medical training period
  • Dedicated UK team to provide support before, during and after training.
