Information for current ACFs and CLs

Mentors

All ACFs and CLs will have a named supervisor during their attachment in the host laboratory. In addition all ACFs and CLs should have a mentor. The mentor will be entirely separate from the Fellow's supervisor or Clinical Director, and will be able to provide independent career and personal advice. Each trainee will be allowed to choose a mentor, with assistance from the Specialty Clinical Academic Training Lead. If you have difficulty identifying a mentor and wish to be assigned to an academic mentor at Imperial from a general list please contact the Postgraduate Medicine Administrator.
