With the North Wales Medical School (based in Bangor University) having opened to its first intake of students in September 2024, this is an extraordinarily exciting time to be involved in medical education in our Health Board. Medical education is widely recognised as a vital part of every clinician's role, and professionalisation and preparation for this is usually assumed rather than proven. Educational qualification provides a strong foundation for current and future educators; this fellowship offers this opportunity, provides a wealth of experience in medical education and scope to develop skills mentoring and supervising junior colleagues.
The post would be particularly well-suited to doctors several years into their post-foundation programme careers, who can demonstrate prior commitment to clinical education, and/or who have previously undertaken substantive posts involving a regular commitment to medical education.
This post represents a less than full-time appointment (equivalent to 0.6 WTE) and does not include any clinical commitments.
Job responsibilities
* Contribute to placement and clinical supervision of students.
* Deliver classroom-based teaching to students (likely acute and emergency medical presentations) and other aspects of undergraduate curricula.
* Mentor junior colleagues (Academic F2s) with a significant commitment to medical education.
* Act as Educational Supervisor for Year 3 medical students, with appropriate support from Module leads and/or Undergraduate Lead.
* Develop teaching resources utilised by the clinical school, and work closely with the undergraduate team to evolve novel teaching methods and strategies to benefit the students.
* Help to identify teaching and training opportunities within the hospital and channel these resources for the benefit of the students.
* Contribute to the coordination and delivery of the widening access to medicine programme (in particular, to guide and support the Academic Foundation year doctors in their efforts).
* Take a lead role in the delivery of multi-professional clinical education (for example, simulation in situ).
* Register for and pursue a post-graduate qualification in medical education (this will be funded by Medical Education).
* Ultimately, it should be possible to mould this post to reflect the individual’s strengths, priorities and developmental needs.
