National Teaching Opportunity for Doctors and Dentists
Medic Mentor are inviting doctors and dentists of all grades to participate in their National Mock Interview Teaching Days, to help our Y13 and S6 students. They are looking for enthusiastic doctors and dentists who would enjoy spending a day teaching secondary school students from schools across the UK, who aspire to become future clinicians.
They are looking for volunteers to act as mock interviewers who will be able to lead a mock interview and then provide written and verbal feedback for each student. All of the questions and mark schemes will be provided in advance.
Medic Mentor has partnered with the Royal Medical Benevolent Fund (RMBF), who provide support for medical students and doctors facing financial hardship. As well as helping Y13/S6 students this event will also help to raise awareness and some money for this charity.
All of the volunteers will be awarded a national teaching certificate, feedback and a reference for participating in the teaching day. There is also a national prize available for the best teacher and mentor so it would be a really good portfolio opportunity. The Royal Medical Benevolent Fund Charity will provide an additional certificate for the doctors who participate.
There are a selection of mock interview days that are taking place both in person and virtually on Zoom. Volunteers taking part virtually would need an up to date zoom, reliable wifi, a working camera and microphone. We would warmly welcome you to participate in more than one session. For those attending both in-person and virtual events you will also receive a “Highly Commended” certificate, which will demonstrate your experience teaching in both in-person and virtual environments. The events will run from 9.30am until 4.30pm. Here is a list of the upcoming events taking place:
