Medicine and Surgery careers
After completing your University degree, you are entitled to provisional registration with the GMC with a licence to practise, subject to demonstrating to the GMC that your fitness to practise is not impaired.
Once you have successfully completed a year as an F1 doctor in a two-year Foundation Programme you should gain full registration. This is followed by a further year of generic training.
On successful completion of your second year, all doctors will have achieved the same basic competencies before going on to select their speciality of choice (www.mmc.nhs.uk), either as a doctor in hospitals, or as a GP.
All doctors, regardless of their speciality, must continue learning throughout their career, and our degree has been designed with this long-term aim in mind.
