Clinical Small Group Facilitator Medicine

Profile

Description:
This is an exciting opportunity for doctors to join a team of facilitators working in the small group programme at Plymouth Medical School, at our sites in Plymouth, Torbay or Taunton. We are looking for clinicians to work in small groups of students in our Reflective Practice (all sites) and Enquiry Based Learning (Plymouth only) programmes. Small group learning is a key component of the undergraduate medical course at the Peninsula Medical School where active, collaborative, reflective learning is fundamental. Small Group Facilitators play a vital role in these groups, using their expertise to stimulate reasoning and problem solving and to support students to activate their existing knowledge and to integrate and apply new learning. This role will require providing facilitation of small group learning in Jigsaw and Small Groups (where students share and explore their clinical experiences with a focus on reflective practice, professionalism skills, psychology and sociology) and Enquiry Based Learning Groups (EBL where students explore and apply their curricular learning in case scenarios). We are seeking facilitators for various year groups. New facilitators will be expected to facilitate 2 groups in the same year group for either Jigsaw, Small Groups or EBL. Each session also attracts paid admin time for planning and assessment. Successful applicants will also be expected to act as academic tutors for up to 5 individual students. This role is also remunerated.
