The new Lifestyle Medicine and Prevention teaching is highly innovative exploiting a wide range of technological and pedagogical advancements. The modules are blended (being taught online as well as through small group clinician-led teaching) and through immersive research experiences.
You will also develop teaching resources related to teaching activities and assessment and be involved with curriculum development and design, developing and evaluating new teaching sessions and undertaking related medical education research.
As part of the role, you will construct examination questions for the written and practical exams, and mark coursework and examinations.
