Clinical Teaching Fellow

Overview

St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is the main teaching hospital linked to City St George's University of London and plays a significant role in medical student teaching. This post and similar posts in other specialties have been established to enhance the teaching of medical students in the Trust and City St George's Medical School. There is an Undergraduate team leader based at the Trust who is able to support the organisation of teaching within the Trust.

More than 50% of the post holder's time will be spent on undergraduate teaching activities. The remainder of the week will be used either for clinical work to develop the individual's career, or to complete a research project. Part of this time will also need to be allocated to further develop teaching skills and to register for the Postgraduate Certificate in Health Education course, which takes about a session per week.

The post holder will teach and co‑ordinate students across all the acute services to ensure students are able to achieve their learning objectives. There will be close liaison with the other Clinical Teaching Fellows in the Trust, to enhance the coordination of undergraduate clinical teaching of medical students.

• Develop and deliver clinical teaching to medical students on the City St George's University MBBS programmes, including bedside teaching sessions, a clinical skills course, clinical PBLs, supervision of the Student Grand Rounds, and, where relevant, involvement in the Hospital Medicine Grand Rounds.
• Administer administrative tasks such as timetabling, updating student online resources and webpages, and liaising with Consultant staff to maximise the use of clinical resources across the Trust.
