Clinical Education Fellow(s), University of Bristol Academy in Swindon
Dear Colleague
We would like to appoint 2 Clinical Educational Fellows (CEF) for the Academic Year beginning August 2012. These are 1 year posts in the first instance but they can be extended for a further 12 months by mutual agreement, subject to satisfactory appraisal / performance in the role.
These posts are aimed at doctors in training who wish to spend time working in a medical educational role within The University of Bristol (UoB) Academy in Swindon. The CEF’s main role is to help the Academy Medical Dean, the Unit co –ordinators / Tutors and other teachers deliver the UoB undergraduate curriculum. In addition the CEF’s will be expected to undertake research and audit projects for presentation at congresses such as the Association for Study of Medical Education (ASME) on behalf of the University of Bristol. It will also be possible for appointee’s to undertake a formal educational qualification (TLHP, University of Bristol) and to develop their personnel career aspirations. For e.g.: a surgical trainee may wish to spend time working in theatre or at the bedside. The CEF’s are welcome to sit in on Dept post graduate teaching in their chosen speciality while they prepare for part II MRCP, MRCS or Primary Care exams. The precise arrangements are negotiable.
The appointees will be offered salaries at the point on the pay scale they are currently on, adjusted to reflect a 40 hour week worked 09:00 – 17:00.
If you are interested in discussing the posts, please contact one of our current CEF’s Dr Marie O’Sullivan (marie.osulivan@gwh.nhs.uk) or Dr Georgia Woodfield (georgia.woodfield@gwh.nhs.uk) . If you would like to apply please send me a brief CV and a personnel statement of no more than 600 words setting out why you want the post (kevin.jones@gwh.nhs.uk). I am happy to arrange an initial meeting or telephone conversation prior to the closing date: 20th April 2012. A formal job description is attached and interviews will take place on 4th May 12 at the Academy in Swindon.
Yours sincerely
Kevin Jones
Academy Medical Dean
