Core Medical Training

CMT - A brief guide to Core Medical Training in Wales

CMT is the primary stage of training and entry point for those trainees who wish to follow a career in medical specialties such as cardiology, dermatology, gastroenterology, etc.

Following completion of the Foundation Programme, CMT trainees will undertake two years of core training (labelled CT1 and CT2), during which they will take up a number of different posts – typically either four or six months in duration, labelled ‘rotations’.

These rotations will give trainees much varied experience of, and exposure to, a range of medical specialties, acute medicine, the workings of differently-sized and structured hospitals and Health Boards; as well as the chance to work with and for a much greater variety of colleagues and patients from different backgrounds and with disparate levels of experience; in addition to the opportunity to become much more involved in medical teaching and training.
