Clinical Assistant Professor in Medical Education (Assessment)

About the role

This position focuses on teaching, learning and assessment in the medical undergraduate curriculum. A key responsibility of this position is to assist the BSMS mentor programme which involves registrars supporting medical students who are having academic struggle.

The post-holder will support all years of medical students in the personal and professional development (PPD) module, and on clinical placement appropriate to their specialty, as well as with other forms of teaching and supervision. We expect that this post holder will lead a Student Selected Component within the undergraduate curriculum. The post holder will support the annual assessment cycle taking part in OSCE station and question writing, examining and standard setting. The post holder will contribute to admissions interviews.

It is hoped that the post holder will undertake medical education research either focusing on a novel project or collaborating with existing projects in the group. There is also the opportunity to apply curriculum development and assessment theories in practice, for example decolonising the curriculum, mapping the curriculum or changing assessment methods in particular areas.

The department would offer the postholder the opportunity to complete three funded, postgraduate modules or equivalent towards a postgraduate qualification in education as part of these roles.

About you

You should be an NHS higher specialty trainee (ST3-8) in any specialty willing to take one year out of programme for this role, and return to your training at the end of the year.
