Overview
Medical Education Fellow – Strand, London, WC2R 2LS
About Us
King’s College London is a research-intensive university in the centre of London. The GKT School of Medical Education, part of the Faculty of Life Sciences & Medicine, runs the King’s MBBS programme, which traces its history through the medical schools of Guy’s, King’s College and St Thomas’ hospitals.
Our students learn on the Guy’s and Denmark Hill campuses and on placement across a wide network of NHS hospitals and general practices in London and the South East. We invest in the people who teach them, and our Medical Education Fellows are a central part of that.
About The Role
We are recruiting six GKT Medical Education Fellows (MEFs) to join the central MBBS team in the GKT School of Medical Education. The posts suit doctors who have completed the Foundation Programme and want to develop as clinical educators alongside their clinical work.
Fellows deliver and organise teaching across the MBBS programme. Depending on the programme’s needs and your interests, this may include small group and case-based teaching, clinical skills and clinical communication sessions, exam preparation for the MLA, OSCE examining, marking student projects, and the organisation behind the teaching: timetabling, briefing clinical tutors, building resources on KEATS and acting on student feedback. The mix of work for each fellow is agreed at the start of the post and may change during the post.
Fellows will be based mainly at Guy’s Campus and the Denmark Hill Campus at King’s College Hospital. Some teaching takes place at our clinical partner sites, and the post holder should expect occasional visits to University Hospital Lewisham and the Princess Royal University Hospital.
You will be mentored by senior educators and supported to build an educational portfolio, with an allowance of up to £500 towards approved study or CPD in clinical education. Fellows join a peer group of MEFs across the School and take part in our faculty development programme.
The posts report to James Galloway, Associate Dean and Head of the GKT School of Medical Education.
