Senior Professional Practice Fellow - General Practice and Rural Health

DEPARTMENT OF GENERAL PRACTICE AND RURAL HEALTH
DUNEDIN SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
OTAGO MEDICAL SCHOOL
The Department of General Practice and Rural Health (GPRH) is one of eight departments within the Dunedin School of Medicine in the Otago Medical School.
The Department is actively involved in undergraduate medical teaching, postgraduate teaching, and supervision of research students at all levels, from Summer Studentships to Ph D’s.
The Rural section of the Department is dispersed, with staff based in a number of rural and provincial locations throughout New Zealand.
This position is based in Dunedin.
The role/Te mahi
As a Senior Professional Practice Fellow in our Department, your primary focus will be on teaching students in years 4 to 6 of the MBCh B degree programme. These years are also known as the Advanced Learning in Medicine (ALM) programme.
Students come to GPRH to learn medicine in a primary care context, which includes clinical placements with GPs.
In time there may also be an opportunity to contribute to postgraduate teaching and/or to teach students in years 2 and 3 of the course – the Early Learning in Medicine (ELM) programme. Deployment in these areas would occur if this were workable within the overall teaching allocations of the department.

Some key tasks of this role include:

Delivering tutorials and other teaching events that are already embedded in the GPRH ALM curricula.
Developing new tutorial content, in collaboration with existing members of the ALM teaching team.
Participating in the assessment of students.
Carrying out administration responsibilities related to the teaching programme.
Contributing to the Department’s academic goals by applying and sharing expert knowledge.

Your skills and experience/Kā pūkeka me kā wheako
Strong preference will be given to candidates with clinical experience in General Practice.

We are also looking for candidates with:

Evidence of an ability to work well with people from differing academic and cultural backgrounds.
A commitment to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi and to equal opportunity.
Previous teaching experience in a tertiary environment would be advantageous but is not essential, as appropriate support will be provided by existing teaching staff.
