Postgraduate medical training is undergoing major change, shortening and disrupting traditional practices. Scholarship remains highly valued, but increasingly difficult to fit in. Workplace-based Masters study offers a solution. We want consultants who are driven by enquiry, good teachers and team workers. Academic qualifications demonstrate trainees' commitment and expertise in competitive employment markets. Most Deaneries allow two sessions weekly for research/personal development, so this resource demands effective use. The good will, talent and commitment of colleagues are vital. A credible structured curriculum combines real-life consultant-level generic practice, with technical medical skills. Academic writing and practical assignments are assessed. Linking with a far-sighted academic institution brings vast expertise in education administration and delivery of accredited learning. The course is more cost-effective than traditional study leave activities. Running part-time over 4 years fits with Higher Specialist Training. Structured programmes, over 9 month 'terms', fit with clinical rotations. Module leaders run yearly clinical modules alongside continuous generic modules. Clinical units are signed up to releasing trainees to attend. Evaluation is external to faculty, with highly favourable feedback. We believe training in academic disciplines underpins practice. With strong partnership working, planning and especially hard work, such a course is deliverable.
