You will plan, prepare, deliver and evaluate your teaching and work closely with colleagues to inspire students and demonstrate the importance and relevance of basic science to clinical medicine and practice. You will also contribute to teaching students in the clinical phase of the programme and provide student reports as required. You will be allocated a mentor and meet regularly to review your development as an educator.
