Training and Careers Group (TCG)
The Training and Careers Group (TCG) is responsible for developing the MRC strategy for non-clinical and clinical training, careers and skills. The TCG takes a broad, long term perspective on MRC's role and strategy in meeting skills shortages, the academic needs of trainees, clear career pathways, and the skills needs of the future. It assists the MRC in coordinating the research training strategy with other organisations including the National Institute for Health Research, industry, professional organisations and the other research councils. The group liaises with research boards and the other groups to ensure training and research strategies are aligned.
The Chair of the TCG is Professor Paul Stewart, Professor of Medicine, Consultant Endocrinologist and Dean of Medicine, College of Medical & Dental Sciences, University of Birmingham.
