Clinical Teaching Fellow

About the role

This is an exciting role for a clinician who has completed their Foundation training, to develop your medical education skills.

Your role will include a variety of other educational activities such as teaching examination skills; involvement in our range of clinical simulation; and assessment activities such as question writing, standard setting, and marking (both written and OSCE assessments).

This role provides an excellent opportunity to develop your teaching and educational skills, offering useful preparation for several Royal College postgraduate examinations.
