Associate Professor in Medical Education - Coastal & Rural Health

We are seeking to appoint an experienced healthcare professional with a nursing, allied healthcare or medicine background and experience in education and leadership, to join our team developing and implementing the Graduate Entry Medicine (GEM) programme.  Creation of the GEM course is in direct response to the Long-term Workforce Plan, and as such there will be an emphasis on developing insight into the unique challenges of providing healthcare in a rural and coastal region. We wish to encourage our medical students to stay and complete their post-qualification training within the East Anglian region to become future doctors and leaders in the local area.  

As such, a key responsibility of this position will be the development of the rural and coastal curriculum within the GEM programme, especially within Years 3 and 4 which contain a longitudinal integrated clerkship with primary care and community-based healthcare settings and a module on complexity and uncertainty in medicine. It is therefore likely that the successful candidate will have a background in clinical practice and leadership issues associated in a rural and coastal region such as health inequalities, frailty, and assess to acute medicine services

You will also be required to plan, teach and assess appropriate topics at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, potentially supervise PhD students, carry out formal administrative roles within the Medical School, and to act as a Student Adviser.  

This part-time (0.5 FTE) post is available from 1 September 2025 on an indefinite basis.
