Clinical Lecturer (Scholarship) (Clinical Teaching Fellow)
University of Aberdeen
These posts are part of an exciting initiative which seeks to professionalise medical education and allows doctors in training the opportunity to develop their own teaching skills and educational expertise. Usually this is undertaken as an out of training programme experience, but may be suitable for those before commencing or after completion of a training programme. The Clinical Lecturer (Scholarship) scheme has been running for twenty-two years and the posts are designed for individuals who have a keen interest in teaching and who wish to pursue a career with an emphasis on education and training; they are not primarily for service delivery of teaching. Opportunities for involvement in all aspects of medical education, including strategic planning and research, will be provided.
You will join the Institute of Education in Healthcare and Medical Sciences as one of a team of academic, administrative and clerical staff who support the medicine degree programme. Three of the posts are based in the School of Medicine, Medical Sciences and Nutrition on the Foresterhill campus, Aberdeen, and one in the Highland Medical Education Centre, Centre for Health Science on the Raigmore campus, Inverness.
You will contribute to the design, development, delivery and assessment of undergraduate MBChB teaching, generally, and in your own specialty. You will contribute to teaching in areas such as communications skills and introductory clinical method and to the organisation of exams, including OSCEs. Where possible, you shall attend and contribute to the work of the Curriculum Steering Group, which is the executive body responsible for the everyday running of the MBChB programme and / or one of the year teams.
Applications are invited from fully registered medical practitioners, from any clinical discipline, who have a keen interest in medical education. Applicants are normally in specialty training with an NTN but with permission for one year out of programme. Other applicants may have recently completed specialty training or be waiting to start specialty training. Experience or knowledge of teaching in an NHS setting is essential.
Salary will be at the appropriate point on Clinical Scale for Academics below level of Consultant, £37,037 - £65,505 per annum, and negotiable with placement according to qualifications and experience.
