Maximising Your ST3 and ST4 Application Score: Teaching

Following on from my last post about how to maximise your application score with regards to the publications section for ST3 and ST4 posts, this post will entail the teaching section and explain how to grab the low hanging fruit.

The teaching section currently consists of two separate sections. The first table denotes whether or not you’ve created a teaching programme and obtained the necessary feedback. In my humble opinion the maximum number of points (6) should be obtainable quite easily in this section.

In the notes from the ST3 recruitment website (https://www.st3recruitment.org.uk/recruitment-process/applying/application-scoring) it states that you’re required to work with local tutors to organise a teaching programme and arrange teachers, but it’s not necessary for you to have personally designed the teaching programme. The teaching programme does however require you to teach regularly over a period of at least 3 months and have obtained formal feedback and completed a reflection, probably on eportfolio.

I would argue that over a 3 month period consisting of 12 once-a-week sessions, teaching medical students or foundation doctors once a month would count as regular. In summary, to achieve the maximum 6 points, perhaps you should follow these steps:

1) Find like-minded people who also want to maximise their teaching score and everyone will have ticked the “arrange teachers” box – win win.

2) As a group, maybe approach a consultant with a teaching interest and explain the process and pre-emptively ask for a “developing the clinical teacher” form

3) Teach 3 sessions over 3 months with your other group members doing the rest

4) Request your developing the clinical teacher form and complete a reflection on eportfolio

The second section is slightly trickier in the sense the points require some time. Another way to look at it is that the above can net you potentially 6 points with minimal effort whilst a masters in teaching only nets you 4 points.

A straightforward 2-day teaching course that is done everywhere can net you 1 point and I’d recommend that as that’s what I did at the time. Unless you’re very keen on teaching, a qualification in teaching isn’t mandatory – most medical schools will jump at the opportunity for us to teach medical students (free of charge) regardless of whether we have a teaching degree or not.

  • Thanks for the suggestions about credit repair on this blog. What I would tell people should be to give up this mentality they will buy at this moment and pay back later. Being a society many of us tend to do that for many issues. This includes family vacations, furniture, plus items we would like. However, you must separate your own wants from the needs. As long as you’re working to improve your credit rating score make some sacrifices. For example you’ll be able to shop online to save cash or you can check out second hand stores instead of high-priced department stores intended for clothing.

  • I’d also like to say that most of those who find themselves without having health insurance are typically students, self-employed and those that are without a job. More than half on the uninsured are under the age of Thirty five. They do not experience they are in need of health insurance as they are young and also healthy. Their income is normally spent on real estate, food, plus entertainment. Most people that do work either 100 or part time are not provided insurance through their jobs so they head out without as a result of rising tariff of health insurance in the United States. Thanks for the concepts you discuss through this site.
