Medical Education Teaching Fellow | East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust

There is a vacancy for a number of trust-wide Medical Education Teaching Fellows. Applications are invited to apply. This post is designed to develop the career of clinicians with an interest in medical education. The post holders will be individuals from any clinical discipline who are fully registered medical practitioners and who have a keen interest in medical education. The posts are primarily work-based within QEQMH, Margate and WHH, Ashford, but the post holders will be required to travel to other sites of the Trust as required. These posts have been established to enhance the teaching of medical students at East Kent and to support our undergraduate strategy. The post holder will also provide teaching and educational services to postgraduate medical education. There are dedicated administrative assistants who support the organisation and medical students and trainees within the Trust.
