The Fellowship Programme is for a duration of 18 months. The programme is an educational experience for applicants interested in becoming involved in creating technology-based education solutions impacting the medical sector. It forms the practical element of a programme of study with university level masters accreditation. It is not a requirement to undertake the qualification aspects. Those that are successful in their application will benefit from a bursary and scholarship towards the qualification.

The programme consists of three phases which are marked by projects aimed at involving fellows within the company. Fellows also gain access to a series of internal resources and workshops throughout their time as a fellow. The programme has potential to expand into a position within the company once the 18 months is completed.
