Mydoc Clinical Fellow

The Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust (MYTT) is seeking highly motivated, clinically able applicants; who wish to gain experience in clinical teaching, medical education and simulation; to work within our highly innovative and exciting medical education team. These posts have been specifically designed for trainees who are looking to take a 12-month break from their training, after successfully completing their FY2 year, and applicants must have some prior experience in teaching medical undergraduates. This role will enable successful appointees to develop a specialty interest in medical education. The majority of teaching will be to undergraduate medical students, of all levels; but this role will also offer the exciting opportunity to be involved with postgraduate education, in delivering teaching to foundation year 1 & 2 doctors, developing and facilitating our STR1/2DE Teaching Programs.
These are 12-month posts, beginning in August 2025, averaging 3 days per week over the year. However, most days are worked during medical student term times, with more time off over the Christmas, Easter and Summer periods. Successful applicants will work cross-site at Pinderfields Hospital and Dewsbury District Hospital, based within the education centers. We envisage appointees will organise regular additional clinical locum work, within MYTT, in specialties of their choice; to maintain clinical competencies, provide evidence for revalidation, and gain clinical experience in individuals areas of interest.
Locum work needs to be organised around the educational commitments of this post, and remain EWTD compliant, and will be remunerated at published internal locum rates. This post is not a recognised UK training post. However, the post-holder will have an enthusiastic educational supervisor and be supported in undertaking a wide range of CV-enhancing activities, as part of their role as a member of the medical education team. EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN MID YORKSHIRE Work in the medical education department will be as part of an enthusiastic, dynamic and growing team of clinicians, clinical teachers and supporting staff, with a wide breadth of experience.
