Further information
For information about individual programmes in the Trusts within the school select the 'for applicants' option from the menu or click here. 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.
