Detailed aims - Teaching



The Fellow will assist in the development, co-ordination, and delivery of undergraduate teaching, across all Trust sites, but the post-holder may also be required to teach at other hospitals within the Trust.

Using this resource, the post holder will be encouraged to explore and develop new teaching and training opportunities.



The Fellow will participate in developing, delivering, and monitoring the contemporary intensive courses for stage 3 (third year) medical students, as well as traditional clinical teaching of senior medical students at the bedside and in the clinic. To ensure these objectives and to provide the Fellow with further training, the post-holder will be expected to register for the Certificate in Medical Education, institution to be confirmed, with Home Fees funded by the Trust. This comprises two and a half days residential course, with approximately 60 hours of self-directed learning. Alternatively, a similar qualification in education may be undertaken, supported by the Trust up to the equivalent Home Fee Rate. Where appropriate, the post-holder may also undertake an educational research project, under the supervision of one of our Senior Lecturers.
