Year 3 Clinical Methods Teaching Trouble-shooting

Course lead: Dr Sarvesh Saini

 

Students are aware that attendance at the GP CMT course is compulsory. Persistent non-attendance will result in an investigation and interview with the Head of Year 3.

WHAT TO DO

If students don’t turn up
Telephone the firm leader or teaching coordinator at the local hospital. If there is no immediate explanation, contact the FEO (020 7594 0780) who will attempt to find out what has happened. Send in a claim for this session as usual explaining the students did not turn up. Ask the Undergraduate Teaching Coordinator at your local hospital to arrange for the students to write a written apology to yourself and the patient. If a student repeatedly misses sessions contact the Head of Year 3.

If patients don’t turn up
Look in the History taking and psychological medicine pages, which have suggestions of how to run sessions without a patient.

If there is a practice or personal emergency and you can not teach a session?
If possible arrange a substitute, either with another local CMT teacher, or through your local Academic Facilitator. If you need to cancel a session completely, please contact your local undergraduate teaching coordinator, so a message can be relayed to the students.

If you have worries about student health?
Direct student to his or her own GP. Contact the CMT course lead, Dr Sarvesh Saini. Use the Alert Form

If you have worries about student performance?
Fill in your student assessment form. For serious concerns use the Alert Form. For background information or if you want to expand on this, contact the Head of Year 3, or general clinical enquiries

Unsure what to teach?
Contact your local academic facilitator or contact Dr Sarvesh Saini to discuss in detail.

Unhappy about your own teaching performance?
Contact your local academic facilitator for further discussion and support or talk directly to Dr Sarvesh Saini.
