The post is designed to support undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. Post holders will teach medical students in both the hospital and university settings, and will have the opportunity to deliver teaching and mentorship to doctors in training. As a result, our education fellows will be involved in teaching a broad range of topics across both universities and at postgraduate level, requiring high levels of flexibility and adaptability.
Main duties of the job
We run a weekly medical education special interest group meeting, chaired in rotation by our clinical education fellows and other members of the medical education team. This is where interesting articles and projects are presented for discussion amongst the group. The post-holder will have an educational supervisor with an interest in medical education, and the benefit of the support of a member of the faculty with development of ideas for projects.
There are regular opportunities to network with education fellows outside the trust, across both universities and wider NHS trusts, as well as attendance at university education conferences. All education fellows are encouraged to attend the trust-wide weekly Grand Round and present at the Medical Education Grand Round which occurs twice yearly.
