Those wishing to undertake a postgraduate qualification in education will be encouraged to do so, and funding is available to support this.

These MEF positions represent an excellent opportunity to be part of the growing Medical School team developing and delivering an innovative MBBS programme and helping to drive interprofessional initiatives at Londons newest Medical School.
