Fellowship
Who this is for
Future Institute faculty, clinical leaders, and protocol developers. This is the Institute's highest credential and it's not a passive qualification — Fellows actively shape the institution. If you want to lead clinical teams, develop new protocols, supervise the next generation of practitioners, and contribute original research that changes how traditional medicine is practised, this is where that begins.
What Fellows do
This tier is as much about giving back to the Institute's ecosystem as it is about personal development.
Original Research
Substantial research contribution that advances the Institute's knowledge base. Protocol validation studies, multi-site case series, methodological innovation. Published through the Institute's publishing arm.
Clinical Supervision
Supervise Tier 1–3 trainees. Mentor the next generation of practitioners. Your clinical experience becomes the training infrastructure for those who follow.
Protocol Development
Design, test, and refine clinical protocols. Move interventions through the research-to-bedside pipeline from investigational to validated. Shape how the network practises.
Cross-Divisional Leadership
Operate across three or more divisions simultaneously. Lead complex case conferencing. Demonstrate the cross-divisional integration that the Institute's framework demands at its highest level.
Selection process
This reads more like a faculty appointment than a course enrolment. Selection is based on:
Application & portfolio review — Your complete clinical portfolio from Tiers 1–3, including research output, case documentation, and supervisor evaluations.
Interview panel — Academic Board members and current Fellows assess clinical reasoning, research capability, and leadership potential.
Demonstrated track record — Evidence of competency across multiple divisions. The cross-divisional requirement is non-negotiable.
Research proposal — A proposed research contribution that aligns with the Institute's current priorities and has clear clinical translation potential.
Outcomes
Fellow Network Membership
Protocol development privileges. Faculty appointment eligibility. Regional clinical governance leadership. The highest tier of the Practitioner Network.
Faculty Appointment

Fees & funding
The Fellowship operates on a different model to Tiers 1–3. Fellowship positions may include research funding, teaching stipends, or reduced tuition in exchange for supervisory and teaching commitments. The specifics depend on the Fellow's role within the Institute. Contact the Institute to discuss individual arrangements.
Prerequisites
Graduate Diploma (Tier 3). Demonstrated competency across multiple divisions. Research output from Tier 3 that meets the Academic Board's standards for quality and clinical relevance.
