  The University of Auckland

  Dec 2019 - now

  This is an ongoing casual contract where I teach Year 3 medical students communication and professional skills as part of a small group teaching module. I also teach clinical methods at the bedside alongside this (at Auckland Hospital, and as of date at Middlemore Hospital too). This was a part time job covering for the existing Director of Assessment at the University of Auckland during her maternity leave. My skills at managing meetings and teams developed as part of voluntary roles in the Royal Australasian College of Physicians came to great use during this time. I enjoyed working together with the Faculty to maintain and deliver assessment frameworks in a challenging time. Worked as part of a team of Clinical Medical Education Fellows at the Medical Programme at the University of Auckland. The Covid pandemic hit as I was part of this team, so I got first hand experience in designing and delivering new content to students online in the midst of the pandemic.
