A Vacancy at Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust.
Birmingham University has a decades-long tradition of solid academic and teaching excellence in psychiatry. The opening of the new medical school at Aston University, and their very first cohort of undergraduate placements in psychiatry from September 2021 has brought a renewed drive and dynamism to the Psychiatry Teaching Academy and desire to introduce innovative teaching methods at undergraduate level across both universities.
BSMHFT are recruiting four full time Clinical Teaching Fellows (CTF) – 2 at F3/F4 or CT1-CT3 level and 2 at CT3-ST7 level to support the development and delivery of teaching to Aston and Birmingham medical students during their 4thyear psychiatry placements.
The CTF posts confer considerable opportunities for Clinical Teaching and educational activity. These posts have been specifically designed to support the undergraduate Psychiatry Teaching Academy in Birmingham in becoming a centre of teaching excellence. The posts are also designed to nurture doctors in training and SAS doctors to develop their teaching skills and progress along a clinical academic and teaching route in psychiatry should they wish. This is a one-year renewable post.
