The Tier 5 visa is issued for a maximum 2 year period. HOW TRAINEES BENEFIT FROM THE MTI (PATH) SCHEME? Allows the medical graduates to come to UK to undertake specialised pathological training in the NHS for a maximum of 24 months before returning to their home country Helps to cultivate strong personal ties between overseas trainees and the UK Trusts Trainee gains access to the College’s e-portfolio for the duration of your placement Support of Educational Supervisor who will act as a mentor and assist trainee in reviewing his/her progress during their training Some Trusts may provide trainee with a peer trainee- Buddy, who will be able to help them during their transition to the UK Access to the high standard training in their chosen specialty Trainees undertaking the MTI (Path) Scheme are encouraged to prepare for and sit the FRCPath Part 1 and/or Part2 examinations 3 | P a g e WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT ROUTES TO SPONSORSHIP? There are two routes offered by the College to gain sponsorship through its MTI (PATH) scheme: 1. The MTI (PATH) COLLEGE ROUTE It is for those trainees who have not been offered a placement but want to undertake clinical training in the NHS trust for a maximum of 24 months before returning to their home country 2. THE MTI (PATH) TRUST ROUTE It is for those trainees who have themselves secured a suitable placement within a NHS Trust in the UK 3. FUNDING Only some of the placements on the MTI Scheme are paid and the trainee receives a salary. However, funding needs to be organised by the trainee for the unpaid MTI Scheme placements. In this case, trainee needs to have funding available from an official source e.g. home institution, government, scholarship etc. The funding should be above the UK national minimum wage (or at least £16,000 p.a.). WHAT POSTS ARE OFFERED? The Royal College of Pathologists offer sponsorship to trainees in the following specialties: Histopathology Chemical Pathology Diagnostic Neuropathology Forensic Histopathology Paediatric and Perinatal Pathology Medical Microbiology Medical Virology Haematology 4 | P a g e • Posts will be offered at a 'middle grade' level, equivalent in standard to Level 2 (ST2) of the UK ST training curricula. After a period of three to six months induction at a more junior level, it is expected that Trainees will progress sufficiently to spend the remaining 18-21 months working at a more senior level (ST3-ST4). • Some placements on the MTI scheme are paid. The salary that the International Medical Graduate should receive is in line with Trainees who are working at a similar level in the UK. Some hospitals take prior international experience into account and some do not. This is at the discretion of the hospital and not by RCPath. HOW DO I APPLY FOR THE MTI(PATH) SCHEME?
