    In this episode of the Faculty Focus podcast, Dr Aleem Ahmed (Consultant in Infectious Diseases and General Medicine but also Clinical Tutor for Locally Employed Doctors) and I discuss the support offered to Locally Employed Doctors (LEDs) at University Hospitals of Leicester (UHL).


    We explore the various titles of these doctors, the development of the ClinicalFellowship Programme, and the unique challenges faced by International MedicalGraduates (IMGs).

    Episode 15 - AMEE 2024: AI, Adaptive Expertise & Floating Down the Rhine!
    Mar 17 2025
    In this episode, Andy and Hussein debrief the AMEE 2024 conference held in Switzerland. They discuss the use of AI in medical education, the concept of adaptive expertise, and the importance of struggle in learning. They also highlight the need for collaboration in faculty development and offer tips for attending.Takeaways• AI is being used in medical education for content creation, question generation, and assisting with diagnosis and decision-making.• Adaptive expertise, which involves both procedural and conceptual knowledge, is crucial in complex and unpredictable healthcare environments.• Struggle and productive failure are valuable in the learning process and creating a safe environment for learners to explore difficult and complex situations is important.• When attending conferences, it is important to plan ahead, have backup sessions, and take breaks to process information. Networking and using conference apps can enhance the conference experience.• Abstract submissions for AMEE typically open early in the year - around February.Further readingAdaptive ExpertiseBereiter & Scardamalia (1993):“Eventually they will quit being novices, without our having to do anything about it.

    Episode 14 - The Evolution of GP Training Programmes
    Nov 26 2024

    In this episode of the Faculty of Focus podcast, I speak with Laura Taylor, the GP Clinical Tutor at UHL, aboutthe evolving landscape of GP training, particularly in a hospital environment. We discuss the structure of GP training, the role and benefits of GP residents in secondary care, and the importance of tailored supervision and support for these trainees. Laura emphasises the collaborative nature of training and the resources available for GP residents to enhance their learning experience and support for clinical supervisors.
