Changes in organisation of higher medical training

- Dermatology training and career options in the U.K. for Indian graduates

The above summarises the situation in 2004. However, it is important to know that there are major changes about to be introduced in the structure of medical posts and careers from the time of qualification onwards. These changes are being introduced in 2005-2006. After gaining a medical degree the pre-registration house job year and first Senior House Officer (SHO) year are being redesigned as two Foundation years. Following completion of the two foundation years doctors will compete for SHO 2-3 year rotations before becoming eligible to apply for SpR training posts.
