Summary
The University of Central Lancashire and American University of the Caribbean (AUC) School of Medicine have put together a new programme aimed at helping ease the global shortage of doctors. The two institutions linked up in 2017 when almost the entire contingent of the AUC School of Medicine re-located to UCLan while their base on the island of St Maarten was rebuilt following hurricane Irma.
Now the University and the AUC have joined forces to offer a new blended programme, to enable students from the UK and across the world to study towards their accredited medical qualification, the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree - the postgraduate degree of physicians in the United States. The University of Central Lancashire's School of Medicine runs the 2-year programme, which commenced in September 2019, providing students with a postgraduate diploma in International Medical Sciences (PGIMS) from ourselves, followed by their MD with AUC. Students will then be eligible to do clinical rotations at AUCs clinical sites, which include hospitals in the US and the UK.
As part of this exciting development, the University is seeking to appoint Lecturer in Pharmacology. Working within a committed and enthusiastic team you will contribute to the course planning, teaching, and assessment as well as providing module leadership. You will hold a good honours degree (or equivalent) in Pharmacology and have a recent postgraduate qualification/training in a relevant area. Applicants should have recent evidence of scientific publications and conference presentations and experience of higher education teaching along with the ability to teach up to Masters level. Knowledge of USMLE teaching to medical students and a teaching qualification such as fellowship of the HEA is desirable.
The successful candidate will have a flexible & innovative approach to teaching and excellent presentation, networking & communications skills.
