Clinical Teaching Fellow (Medicine & Surgery)

Successful candidates will be supported to complete a certificate in postgraduate medical education (PGCME) or equivalent during the post.

The post-holders will be hospital-based and the clinical teaching will take place at Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH) and Sandwell Health Campus.

The posts will suit doctors seeking to develop teaching skills and further their clinical interests before entering Core or Higher Specialist Training. For both the CTF posts and the hybrid CTF / Simulation Fellow posts, a minimum of 2 years' postgraduate experience (usually Foundation training) is required. All posts are for one year, starting 5th August 2026. Successful candidates will work as a team to provide ward and simulation based teaching, as well as mentorship to groups of students.

Candidates should complete the on-line application form, providing information on their career progression to date, contribution to teaching so far and how this post fits with their plans for career progression.

We are looking for enthusiastic doctors with an interest in Medical Education who wish to develop this area further either as:

Clinical Teaching Fellows (CTFs) or as

hybrid CTF / Simulation Fellows (roughly 50% time spent as CTF and 50% time spent as Simulation Fellow).

Successful CTF candidates will be an integral part of the Undergraduate Teaching Academy to develop and deliver teaching to medical students from both Aston University (AMS) and University of Birmingham (UoB). Successful candidates for the hybrid posts will also be involved in the development and delivery of a programme of simulation-based training for junior trainees and expand it to include a strong interdisciplinary element.
