Clinical Teaching Fellow

Applications are invited for the post of a full-time clinical teaching and simulation fellow with responsibilities in leading & coordinating undergraduate medical educational activities and postgraduate simulation.

Main duties of the job

From an undergraduate medical education perspective, the successful applicant will be responsible for leading & coordinating undergraduate learning activities, assessments (including Clinical Professional Skills Assessments-CPSA), providing supervision & pastoral support for UCLMS's Year 5 medical students. Together with other CTFs at NMUH, the appointed individual will have additional opportunities to develop new educational innovations in line with UCLMS- Barnet North Middlesex (BMX) campus's undergraduate education expansions plans.

The postgraduate aspect of the position also offers the successful applicant to develop their interests in the growing and innovative world of simulation-based education through the coordination and provision of teaching (simulation, communication, human factors patient safety) for post graduate doctors. This will involve the coordination of the FY and IMT simulation programme. In addition, a host of opportunities to support simulation activity during training days and in-situ simulation in nursing, AHP and across the specialist teams are available in our diverse trust. Further development is enabled through close mentoring relationship with experienced simulation-based educators and as part of the London Simulation Network faculty development opportunities.
