Recruitment Application Interviews Location Selection
5
Recruitment: Application Application Form Psychometric test Confirmation of interview <2 weeks before first interview date Location: Birmingham => Expense
6
Recruitment: Interviews & Locations “Speed Dating” ○ Fresh start at each table ○ Difficult to put yourself across Location First Choice?? StationArea Covered 1 General aptitude for science and understanding of scientific services in society 2 Specialism specific questions to assess scientific knowledge and skill 3 4 Suitability for the training, professionalism and leadership potential
7
STP Structure Compared with IPEM Structure makes sense: learn on the job instead of cramming for exams and forgetting MSc Rotations
8
MSc Clinical Sciences (Medical Physics) Location: Newcastle Find short-term accommodation or commute Provide accommodation? Different locations? Opportunity to see another trust
9
MSc Clinical Sciences (Medical Physics) Medical Physics teaching excellent Taught by physicists Lots of hands-on learning & tutorials Professional Practice needs to be relevant to physicists Reflect that we have very little patient exposure Taught by physicists? Not GPs
10
MSc Clinical Sciences (Medical Physics) Location: King’s College London Told of location very last-minute Find short-term accommodation or commute
11
MSc Clinical Sciences (Medical Physics) Teaching good Taught by physicists Long history of IPEM-accredited degree Taught as single block Syllabus very superficial 1 lecture in ultrasound, 2 in MRI Compared to 20+ in Leeds
12
Rotations Not taken as four 3-month blocks
13
Rotations Imaging with Ionising Radiation (3 months) Radiation Safety (3 months) Radiotherapy Physics (3 months) Imaging with Non- ionising Radiation (3 months) Diagnostic Radiology (9 weeks) Radiation Protection (6 weeks) Nuclear Medicine (10 weeks) Radiotherapy (12 weeks) Ultrasound (5 weeks) UV/Lasers (3 weeks) MRI (6 weeks)
14
Rotations Not taken as four 3-month blocks First “year” takes approximately 15 months Different staff to train and assess Use of project-style work Evidence Feedback
15
Competencies and Assessments Some incredibly difficult to do OCEs CBDs Professional Practice Multiple competencies with single projects
16
Specialism Chosen towards the end of rotations Incorporates MSc project
17
Elective Rehabilitation engineering 4-week project
