HMT/PMST
Pharmaceutical Medicine is the medical scientific discipline concerned with the discovery, development, evaluation, registration, monitoring and medical aspects of the marketing of medicines for the benefit of patients and the health of the community.
The main route to obtaining specialist registration in Pharmaceutical Medicine is by undertaking Pharmaceutical Medicine Specialty Training.
The purpose of specialty training in Pharmaceutical Medicine is to produce accredited pharmaceutical physicians, who are equipped with specialist knowledge and comprehensive skills and competencies to practise to the highest ethical and professional standards, for the benefit and safety of patients and the public, in the development and maintenance of medicines.
Due to major changes in the organisation of postgraduate medical education in the UK commencing in 2007, there are currently two curricula being used for specialty training.
From 1st August 2007, the 
Pharmaceutical Medicine Specialty Training (PMST) curriculum and information will be applicable to trainees issued with a National Training Number (NTN) from 1st August 2007 onwards. This curriculum and information should also be reviewed by new entrants wishing to enrol and by prospective entrants.
The Higher Medical Training (HMT) curriculum and information will be applicable to those already undertaking specialty training under a NTN which was issued before 31st July 2007.
If you are in any doubt about which curriculum applies to your particular circumstance then please contact the Faculty office.
