My job as a clinical teaching fellow has been the most rewarding and fulfilling experience and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. I look forward to teaching a variety of medical students every day and the staff in the department make it such a warm and friendly environment to be in. The opportunities in this job are endless; from participating as examiners in finals to having clinical days (without rota commitments) to completing a masters- you really can tailor the job to your preferred interests which is the best part. The thing I value the most is the full flexibility in organising our teaching and autonomy in how we deliver it.
