The Medical Education Fellow post is a unique and exciting opportunity which combines an educational role aimed at developing undergraduate and postgraduate education in Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust (BHT) with a one day a week clinical role in a speciality within the trust. It is a one year (usually non-training) fixed term post for prospective candidates who have at a minimum completed the Foundation Programme and would be suitable for candidates of any grade above FY2 up to pre-CCT.
The post holder would work with the Director of Medical Education, the Undergraduate Director of Medical Education, the Lead Education Fellow, and Undergraduate and Postgraduate Faculty to develop teaching at BHT. Time would be split between undergraduate teaching and the foundation teaching programme. There will be opportunities to develop teaching with service leads and directly deliver teaching, as well as continuing to develop supporting foundation doctors to develop their own teaching skills. As part of the role, fellows will undertake the Mastering Medical Education Programme for Clinical Teaching Fellows and Educators course, leading to accreditation with the Academy of Medical Educators.
The supernumerary clinical day will allow continued clinical exposure in the candidate's base speciality. We are currently offering clinical posts for any speciality based within BHT depending on applicants experience and preference.
