Main duties of the job

All Fellows will be involved in medical education project work and undergraduate teaching.

The Education Teaching Fellow role has more focus on education projects and research with some bedside teaching for Phase 1 (year 2 students).

The Surgical Teaching Fellow principally supports Year 3 undergraduate teaching and will be a combination of informal bedside teaching and more formal tutorial/seminar based teaching. There will be some opportunities to undertake project work.

Both roles will offer opportunities to

• Facilitate simulation-based teaching.
• Get involved in assessment activities – acting as a clinical tutor/examiner in formative OSCEs and helping to examine in summative examinations, for which training will be provided.
• Gain some experience of standard setting for examinations and writing examination questions/cases.

While much of the learning will be experiential, it will be supported by a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Education or Leadership. Time and resources (up to a set value) will be provided to facilitate this.
