Leicester Medical School is seeking to appoint a clinician to take a leadership role in our Year 4 OSCE. The appointee will have a keen interest in developing expertise in clinical assessment. They will be primarily responsible for leading on the design and delivery of the Year 4 OSCE and its resit and will also be an active member of our collaborative assessment team, assisting with other OSCEs and written examinations.
Assessment is well known to ‘drive learning’. As such, this post is pivotal in our excellent course. Providing a high quality OSCE assessment ensures we only progress students capable of becoming competent Foundation doctors. As an OSCE Lead you should be an excellent team-player, able to add to the collective efforts of our large multi-disciplinary team. That team works together towards a shared goal within our curriculum of generating some of the best prepared doctors in the UK. You should have excellent insight into the knowledge, skills and practical needs of our medical workforce, so as to ensure our clinical assessment mirrors those needs and thereby encourages our students to learn effectively during their placements.
The post holder will be awarded the title of Honorary Senior Lecturer whilst holding the role and delivering 2 PAs.
