On graduating from HYMS, your MB BS joint degree
from the two universities will equip you to start
practice as a Foundation Year house officer. The Foundation programme is a two-year general
programme forming a bridge between medical
school and specialist or general practice training.
Over the two years, Foundation Years 1 and 2
trainees have the opportunity to gain experience in a
variety of specialties and healthcare settings before
applying to enter their specialist area. Within that
context there will naturally be openings for those
wishing to pursue academic medicine, as well as
for clinicians.
There are sufficient Foundation posts available
across the HYMS area for all those HYMS graduates
who wish to remain in the region.
