          Abstract

          <p id="d11800648e108">Trainees in higher specialty training programmes may have the option to take time out of their training programme to enhance or broaden their skills and perhaps develop a subspecialty interest. Traditionally, out of programme experience has been mostly taken by clinical academic trainees in order to undertake a higher research degree. However, there are a growing number of other ways to usefully spend time out of programme. This article is intended to highlight the range of opportunities and explain the modern processes for obtaining permissions to enable trainees to make good choices for themselves. </p>

          Trends and the future of postgraduate medical education.

          R Harden (2006)
          Where is the present flurry of activity in medical education leading and what sort of future is envisaged? This paper looks at trends in postgraduate medical education. Four themes and two trends for each theme have been identified. The themes are: the postgraduate medical curriculum, the application of learning technologies, assessment of competence, and professionalism in medical education. The trends are: outcome based education and a unitary approach to medical education; the use of simulators and e-learning; competency and performance based assessment, and portfolios and self assessment; and training the trainer and best evidence medical education. Any limitations in implementing change will likely result from a lack of imagination in those planning postgraduate medical education and their ability to bring about the necessary changes. To avoid a growing gap developing between what is possible educationally and what is delivered, it is clear that we need a new paradigm for postgraduate medical education.

              What happens to clinical training fellows? A retrospective study of the 20 years outcome of a Medical Research Council UK cohort

              Paul Stewart, Simone Bryan, Peter Dukes … (2012)
              Objectives The Clinical Research Training Fellowship (CRTF) allows up to 3 years support for clinically qualified candidates to undertake specialised or further research training in biomedical sciences. CRTFs are perceived as a crucial step in the career development and progression of Clinical Academics but there are no published data to support this notion. We conducted an electronic survey of a large cohort of Medical Research Council (MRC) CRTFs followed for up to 20 years. Design Retrospective analysis of CRTF outcome data held with the MRC, UK. Participants Two cohorts comprising 40 CRFTs awarded by the MRC in the year 1991 and 299 MRC CRTFs who were awarded a fellowship between 1993 and 2003. Results The MRC CRTF scheme built capacity in clinical academia across the UK with 40% of CRTFs progressing to a University professorship. Importantly, the CRTF scheme is also providing NHS consultants who remain research active. Conclusions This is the first analysis of outcome of CRTFs in the UK and provides robust evidence of the importance of this capacity building mode of funding to underpin research excellence at the University–NHS interface.
