  9. If I am settled in the UK and have house officer experience, can I apply to F1, rather than F2 training posts? No. Only doctors who have not completed an internship (or equivalent training) are eligible for F1 posts. As you’ve had house officer experience and are entitled to register with the GMC, it is likely you have already gained competences comparable to the F1 year. You will be able to apply for F2 posts when they are advertised. These standalone posts are not recruited to through MTAS, but will be advertised locally.
