The College has established a network of Aademic Regional Advisors throughout the country to provide guidance and support to academic trainees and those wishing to undertake research alongside their clinical training.

 Trainees undertaking research will generally obtain a CCT via the conventional route, their registered specialty being paediatrics.  However, a small minority may seek to have their names entered on the Specialist Register via the academic route.

 Information on entry to academic training via Academic Clinical Fellowships and Academic Clinical Lecturer posts can be found on the MMC website.
