Career Development
This section is created for those who would like to develop their careers in a primary care field or who would like a career change. The first section focuses on General Practice and will be updated with other fields in the near future.
Until recently there has been no clear pathway to a career in academic general practice. That situation is now changing, partly because of the rising demand for undergraduate medical education and the long list of unanswered research questions which demands increased research activity. For more info to find out how to develop a career in General Practice please see the Academic Career Pathways document from Professor Frank Sullivan.
