Medical Training Initiative

The Medical Training Initiative (MTI) is a national scheme designed to allow a small number of doctors to enter the UK from overseas, so that they can benefit from training and development in NHS services before returning to their home countries.

It supports the UK’s international development objectives and helps foster exchange programmes between NHS and overseas organisations.

From April 2010, the Academy took on the role of promoting the MTI and acting as the national sponsor of the scheme for the requirements of the UK Borders Agency (UKBA). The role of national sponsor was previously held by NHS Professionals.

Further details of our work with MTI will be available in the near future.
