Working as a doctor


When you graduate with your MBChB degree you’ll be able to apply for your first of two foundation years. Having studied with us you’ll be in a good position to apply to the Essex, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire (EBH) Foundation School.

On successful completion of your foundation years, you’ll be able to apply for further study within your chosen specialism. We envisage that our graduates will want to study further and work locally as there are many opportunities for training doctors in the region.
