O&G Clinical Teaching Fellow

O&G Clinical Teaching Fellow – Birmingham Women’s and Children’s Hospital and Charity

We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated Specialist Trainee in Obstetrics and Gynaecology to undertake this one-year, out of-training programme post in medical undergraduate education. This post is specifically designed to deliver high quality education to the substantially increased numbers of undergraduates in obstetrics and gynaecology in line with the changes to the curriculum. The emphasis of the post is on clinical teaching;

the post holder will lead specific small group clinical teaching sessions in all clinical areas (wards, outpatients, acute settings), allowing assessment of clinical core competencies (obstetrics and gynaecology history taking and examination).

The successful applicant would be expected to develop and participate in educational research and development of innovative teaching materials. We would encourage and fund registration for a higher qualification in medical education. The post holder would also have a demonstrated interest and enthusiasm for teaching undergraduates and be IT literate, aiding the continuing improvement of the undergraduate teaching programme at the Birmingham Women’s Hospital.

As part of the post there will be sessions protected in the weekly timetable to allow specialist clinical interests to be pursued.
