Medical Teaching Course-Oxford Medical (aka Teach the Teacher Course)
Why should i consider going on a medical teaching course? 
Doctors are highly intelligent individuals and receive approximately 9 years of postgraduate training as part of the CCT process. As they progress through the ranks their teaching responsibilities increase. Each team is responsible for the accurate and timely management of their patients so teaching your juniors about clinical management of both acutely and chronicallly unwell patients is vital.
In fact during the recruitment and assessment process we as Consultants look at a trainee to see how easily they will be trained but also how much value they will bring to the team. Having a proactive medical teacher who helps with team and junior training is an added bonus.
The Royal Medical Colleges are now incorporating formal medical teaching into the CCT process. It also still remains as a scorable short listing area for Consultant interviews. Trainees who therefore have received formal medical teaching training say on a medical teaching course or a teach the teacher course bring additional unique attirbutes to the team structure.
Over the last 5 years we have seen an increasing demand for training on our medical teaching courses. In fact we have trained over 10,000 doctors and are the UK's largest and most popular provider in this field.
So in summary in order to answer the question "Why should i consider going on a medical teaching course?" then think about the added value you bring to the team and also the potential added shortlisting points this will bring at any medical interview.
