The purpose of this post is to develop learning opportunities by providing teaching and support for students on the Peninsula Medical School BMBS Programme during their Respiratory placements. The post will predominantly provide teaching and support to year 3 students. There will be some teaching and support of year 5 medical students but teaching for students in other years may be required. The post holder will work with Dr Derry and the Clinical Liaison Team in the Medical School to support teaching in Respiratory medicine. This will include teaching groups of 3 to 5 students on Respiratory placements in a variety of clinical areas, assessing clinical competencies, providing tutorials, delivering clinical skills teaching and developing teaching resources. Other activities related to the smooth running of the pathway weeks and placement blocks may be included. Teaching will be during academic termtime and as such the post holder is required to take annual leave during the medical student holidays.
