Our training is suited to the more experienced clinician who wants to consummate training in Endocrinology, as such preference will be given to those who have previous endocrine experience in a recognised training centre. Those with less experience can still apply but should apply for a block of up to three months only.
In order to provide the optimal endocrine experience and also your training needs, the number of available fellowships is limited.
You will need to apply for the fellowship at least 6-12 months before.
You will be required to provide a supporting letter from your local paediatric endocrinologist and a copy of your CV.
Deadlines will be the 1st June & 1st December each year.
Shortlisted applicants will be invited for an interview via remote interview.
