Description
The Scottish International Medical Training Fellowship (IMTF) program has successfully recruited doctors from abroad to work in NHS Scotland for several years. This program offers a valuable opportunity for Health Boards to provide high quality education and training opportunities for International doctors in keeping with Scottish Government’s commitment to Global Citizenship, whilst positively supporting service sustainability. The IMTF program is supported by the Cabinet Secretary for Health and Sport; all Boards have now identified Clinical and HR leads to support recruitment and employment of international doctors. Submissions from Boards detailing strategies used to mitigate cost and service challenges from junior doctor vacancies, indicate that the majority of Boards would value this opportunity and have capacity to commit to an annual intake of international medical fellows.
