The IMT recruitment website has just had an update of information to be relevant to 2027 recruitment. Additionally, we have published the Applicants’ Guide, which can be downloaded from the Document Library.

The website has detailed information to help you throughout the process, whilst the guide gives a summary to IMT recruitment and is a good starting point for those who want an overview first.

If you cannot find the answer to a query, we have published FAQs to answer the most common queries but if you need further help please contact us by submitting a query to our support portal. 

Medical Training (Prioritisation) Act 

The biggest single change to recruitment in 2027 is that the Medical Training (Prioritisation) Act has become law and will apply at both the shortlisting and offers stages of the process. Details of the criteria to be given priority status can be found on the Medical Training Recruitment website. The shortlisting and how offers are made sections of the website give information how it will impact. 

Interviews and dates

All interviews for IMT will be held online and will take place throughout the period between 18 January and 12 February, the exact dates will be published to the dates & posts section of the website; although it is anticipated that there will be interviews held on most days (Monday to Friday) during this period.

Post numbers

Provisional programme numbers will be published to the dates & posts section of the website prior to applications opening. IMT numbers are normally quite similar from one year to the next, so you can review the fill rates from previous years in the Document Library for an indication.

Application scoring

The application scoring matrix for IMT recruitment in 2027 has been confirmed.   

One round only

In recent years IMT has filled all posts in the first round and so there are no plans for a second round. We urge anyone interested in an IMT programme starting in 2027 to apply in the first round.
