The University of Surrey is a global community of ideas and people, dedicated to life-changing education and research. We are ambitious and have a bold vision of what we want to achieve - shaping ourselves into one of the best universities in the world.
Currently, one of our most exciting projects is the launch of our new Medical School: an enthusiastic and creative team of medical educators are working within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences to develop a new School of Medicine. Our innovative programme aims to produce a new type of doctor - excellent and holistic clinical leaders who can drive change, delivering integrated and modern healthcare for their patients and communities. Our innovative four-year course provides the academic, clinical and professional requirements needed for our students to go on and succeed as foundation doctors and beyond.
We are looking for a Lecturer in Medical Education to join the School at this exciting time.
The role
The successful candidate will focus on delivering high-quality teaching to our graduate entry students over the four-year program: this will include biomedical science, physiology, clinical medicine, communication skills, and clinical specialty and skills teaching (as per expertise).
You will support students in small and large group teaching (including team and case-based learning) and will contribute to clinical and communication skills sessions and simulation-based teaching. We would also expect you to contribute to our admissions process, to standard setting, to writing knowledge tests and OSCEs, and to supporting OSCE examining.
About You
To join our School, you’ll need to be a forward-looking individual with the ambition to drive innovation in medical education. You’ll have full registration with the GMC, a higher professional qualification (usually a doctoral degree or equivalent), and are likely to hold a Fellowship from the Higher Education Academy or Academy of Medical Educators.
In addition to these qualifications, you’ll have experience of providing high quality teaching and will have good knowledge of medical education principles and practices (including course accreditation, quality assurance processes, and knowledge of the professional requirements of the GMC). You’ll also have a significant academic publication record and evidence of scholarly contributions to conferences, professional meetings, and societies. Finally, as an excellent communicator, you’ll have the ability to use tact, diplomacy, and empathy to build effective working relationships at all levels.
