Job summary
Please apply via our website:
This is an exciting time to join the University. The Medical School opened to its first MBChB students in September 2023 and alongside the MSc Physician Associate Programme aims to significantly contribute to expanding the local healthcare provision.
This is the ideal opportunity for someone who is passionate about Healthcare Education to join the team, as part of Three Counties Medical School, and contribute to the design and implementation of new exciting curricula, much of which is community-based.
The successful candidate will be a proven leader, with the ability to motivate and influence stakeholders to increase and sustain placement capacity.
Main duties of the job
This is a permanent Senior Lecturer post on the MBChB Programme, with a role allocation as Deputy Lead Clinical Placements (MB ChB), which is for an initial fixed term of 3 years. This is a senior academic post responsible for the community-based clinical curriculum during Phase 1 of the MB ChB. This entails curriculum design, development, teaching of primary care topics, and the overall responsibility for the community placements including placement quality management and GP Tutor support and training. Primary care is an important clinical environment for both medical and physician associate (PA) students and as such the postholder will be responsible for recruitment of appropriate placements and the design of campus-based teaching activities to support the student experience. This post provides support for placements specifically, but not exclusively, in primary care, under the guidance of the Phase 2/MBChB Placements Lead. A longitudinal integrated clerkship is planned for medical students in their third year, and the role-holder will be involved in further recruitment of rural and inner-city GP placements to expand authentic GP placements and introduce further simulated practice as student numbers grow. As such a proportion of time will be spent in networking and placement visiting, supporting our educational supervisors and ensuring the quality of our MB ChB placements.
