Job description
Job responsibilities
Act as Subject Lead for Respiratory, working closely with relevant academic leads and clinical colleagues in NCIC and other associated trusts to formulate and implement a plan for the delivery of the subject teaching within Medical Sciences module, and the delivery of related placements within the Clinical Skills and Professional Practice module, including learning outcomes, timetabling and resource requirements.
Use subject matter expertise and educational experience to create and curate high quality teaching materials across a range of teaching and learning modalities, which reflect the conditions and presentations that students will need to recognise for the Medical Licensing Assessment and are authentic to the students' parallel clinical experiences.
Work closely with other teaching leads and development teams to ensure close integration of medical science, anatomy, and clinical skills and reasoning teaching within the subject.
Develop formative and summative assessments based on the learning materials generated that are aligned to, and reflective of, the questions students will encounter in the relevant aspects of Medical Licensing Assessment.
Work collaboratively with module leads and other subject leads to ensure that students are prepared for placements, and to ensure that the student learning experience is equitable across different clinical sites.
Once the programme is underway, continuously monitor, evaluate and improve the quality of content and delivery.
Where placements are provided at more than one site, work with local education providers to ensure activity is well calibrated to provide as uniform an experience as possible.
Contribute as requested to the wider delivery of medical school activities, for example through participation in admissions, tutoring, and assessment and feedback.
Actively participate in PCSM committees and fora, as required.
Review and respond promptly to feedback from all sources, such as student surveys, staff-student committees and external examiners.
Work as a practising clinician, embedded in the relevant clinical service within the trust.
