For Clinicians

There are many opportunities to be involved with medical education through the Epworth Clinical School. Medical student clinical supervisors form the core of the medical student program with clinicians incorporating students into their daily work activities including ward rounds, consulting room and procedural sessions. We currently have over 300 clinicians who provide placement opportunities for our students. In addition, there are opportunities to deliver core curriculum education sessions.

Examples of teaching roles with Epworth Clinical School:

Professional Practice tutor
Clinical skills tutor
Long case tutor
Simulation facilitator
Discipline specific teaching sessions

Medical Student Assessment

Medical students undertake a variety of assessments as part of the medical program. These include written and clinical assessments.

We value our clinicians input in medical student assessment. Feedback is vital for student development. Involvement is often more flexible for those clinicians who are unable to make a regular time commitment.

Our Associate Deans and Professors of surgery work with the Dean of Medicine to support the development of clinical placement and formal teaching programs for all students.
