further information
For information about individual programmes in the Trusts within the school select the 'recruitment' option from the menu. All programmes for F1 include 4 months surgery, 4 months medicine, and 4 months of another specialty. Academic programmes will include a dedicated four months in F2 attached to a specific academic team allied to the Hull York Medical School (HYMS).
There are nine posts altogether: each meets the clinical components required for Foundation Training, and provides a different opportunity for academic development in F2.
In each programme, the academic F2 will work with the team to deliver their current research programme. The successful applicants will be encouraged to take responsibility for a specific output of their own which fits into the overall research programme. Intended goals are a publication and presentations. Arrangements are made for all the HYMS academic F2s to attend the Introduction to Research Methodology course at the Department of Health Sciences, University of York, and to sit the exam.

All Academic Foundation Programmes contain a 4 month placement during the F2 year in the Academic department at York University. This will give you an excellent opportunity to get involved in teaching/research. The Academic 4 month post also attracts a banding and therefore, Academic trainees will be on-call in their base hospital 1 in 4 weekends during this post. Further details regarding individual posts can be found in the "for applicants" section of the website.
