  1. The Role of the Geriatrics SpR in Teaching Undergraduates Adam Gordon SpR in Health Care of Older People, Nottingham University Hospitals SpR Representative, BGS Education and Training Committee

  2. Why SpRs should teach. • Training SpRs to teach. • Beyond teaching – SpRs as educationists. • Engaging with the undergraduate curriculum.

  3. Why SpRs should teach..... • 39% of consultants and 7% of registrars chose geriatric medicine while a middle grade in another specialty. • “Inspirational seniors” an important reason for choosing specialty (26.2%) • Residents identify senior residents as important teachers and role models. Briggs, S., R. Atkins, et al. (2006). "Why do doctors choose a career in geriatric medicine?" Clinical Medicine, Journal of the Royal College of Physicians 6: 469-472. Mann, K. V., E. Sutton, et al. (2007). “Twelve tips for preparing residents as teachers” Medical Teacher. 29: 301 - 306.

  6. Theories of learning • Using Learning Objectives • Using questioning techniques • Structuring learning episodes • Teaching methods • Evaluating teaching • Assessing learning • Microteaching with group & individual feedback

  7. Masters Degrees Short Courses Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy

  8. Masters in Medical Education • 1 year full-time/2 year part-time • Correspondence/e-learning available • In-depth evaluation/analysis of education theory/practice • Dissertation – novel research/academic thought.

  12. The National Survey of Undergraduate Education in Ageing and Geriatric Medicine

  13. Bartram L, Crome P, McGrath A, Corrado OJ, Allen SC, Crome I. Survey of training in geriatric medicine in UK undergraduate medical schools. Age Ageing 2006;35(5):533-535. • Geriatric teaching is in decline. • Fewer academic units. • Fewer attachments in geriatrics. • Doesn’t allow for integrated curricula. • Focus on who is teaching instead of what is taught.

  14. First Step • Establish what we should be teaching • Literature review • Review of existing English language curricula • Consultation with stakeholders • BGS ETC, BCA, BSRA, BSG • Mapping existing curriculum to Tomorrow’s Doctors • TeGeMe; wider relevance

  15. Second Step: The Survey • 31 medical schools contacted • 22 agreed • 2 refused • Awaiting response from 6 • Cambridge • Edinburgh • King’s • Manchester • Peninsula • St George’s

  16. The Survey • Internet-based questionnaire. • Domains from BGS curriculum mapped to Tomorrow’s Doctors. • Opportunity to share innovative practice. • 20 mins to complete. • Individualised feedback to medical schools.

  17. Summary • SpRs have much to offer undergraduate teaching programmes. • Specific training is necessary to maximise value of contribution. • Pedagogical research represents a valid research route for SpRs • SpRs working pedagogical research are an asset.
