Clinical Teaching Fellows: Past, present and future

Working as a Clinical Teaching Fellow

Working as a Clinical Teaching Fellow (CFT) is highly rewarding, offering those who choose to undertake the role ample opportunities for both personal and professional development.

See what some our previous Clinical Teaching Fellows have to say about their year in post:

 "Truly rewarding job; helping others achieve their aspiration, goals and fostering their development into competent clinicians."
- CTF in Medicine/Elderly Care, Croydon

"Great year with lots of opportunities for teaching, research and pursuing higher qualifications."
- CTF in Medical Education and ENT, Surrey & Sussex

"There are lots of extra opportunities to get involved with, such as OSCE examining, mentoring, writing exam questions etc."
- CTF in Paediatrics, Epsom & St. Helier

"The CTF year has been transformational for my professional development, not only as a teacher, but also the other domains, such as research, quality improvement and clinical work. It has given me the space and cognitive bandwidth to work on projects in a way that I have never managed in a full time clinical role."
- CTF in Acute Medicine, St George's
