International doctors can apply for the 2027-2028 Dual International Clinical AI Fellowship in London. The 12-month programme combines a clinical attachment through Guy’s and St Thomas’ International Clinical Fellowship Programme with an NHS clinical artificial-intelligence project.
Overview
The programme is designed for doctors who want practical experience at the intersection of clinical care and artificial intelligence. Fellows work within an NHS multidisciplinary environment, contribute to a real clinical AI project, and complete a structured AI curriculum alongside their clinical attachment.
This is not a funded fellowship for individual applicants. International applicants require an institutional sponsor, such as an overseas employer, government, or other sponsoring body. Self-funding is not accepted. The current programme fee is £80,000 and is paid by the sponsor.
