Types of Integrated Academic Training
IAT programmes aim to provide an explicit academic training pathway during specialist training that is designed to integrate the development of academic skills with each of the key stages of a clinician's career. They are facilitated by awards made through a competitive process, in strong host environments through educational partnerships between Universities, local NHS Trusts (including Primary Care Trusts) and Postgraduate Deaneries.
There are two academic training phases designed to fit explicitly within the run-through training grades, namely:
• Academic Clinical Fellowships (ACFs)
• Academic Clinical Lectureships (ACLs)
These phases are designed to provide a training continuum for those seeking to develop a career as a clinical academic in research and/or education, leading to the award of a Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT).
Further details about the different types of training available, eligibility requirements and entry/exit points can be obtained via NIHR Co-ordinating centre for research capacity development
