MEDICAL EDUCATION/LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT ACADEMIC POSTS x 8 FPP programmes
Overview
FROM August 2024 we are recruiting to our 8 long established Academic medical education/leadership and management programmes in the Peninsula through the Foundation Priority Programme recruitment process. These have previously only been recruited to through the SFP recruitment process.Each programme starts with a generic clinical F1 year comprising 3x4 month rotations. In F2, the pattern is for 2x6 months clinical posts with time allocated either in-week or in separate clinical/specialised weeks depending on the type of academic programme. You will be roughly 60% clinical and 40% academic in your F2 year (some flexibility may be required).
One of the 6-month posts will be in a placement determined by the trust. For the second 6-month post, each post-holder will be offered a limited choice of clinical specialty, with the final decision dependant on a combination of doctor preference, availability, F1 experience, the requirement to provide a broad training programme and the Foundation Programme Director’s view of any individual educational needs. You will need to be on track and be given an outcome 1 at ARCP for F1 to be offered the chance to continue with the Academic component in F2.
These posts provide exciting opportunities to develop key skills and experience in Medical Education or Leadership and Management while also gaining the generic foundation capabilities through a clinical placement in the acute trust.
