Posts are routinely available in specialty training in acute medicine, general internal medicine, geriatric medicine
(elderly care), respiratory medicine, and in core medical training. Applications for other specialties are welcome,

of their ongoing training. The MTI is only suitable for doctors whose subsequent work in the UK would be counted

taking examination until their return.
