Teaching and Examining Opportunities

Each year hundreds of our MBChB and Physician Associate students complete their OSCEs and new examiners are always needed. The University of Leeds provides full training through a blended learning course. Participants who complete the course then have the opportunity of joining in the examining fun at our OSCE days during the Spring and Summer terms. 

This training is only available to those currently employed by a Leeds University MBChB/PA placement provider and who sign up to be an examiner. 

For further information about OSCE examiner training dates and how to get involved in OSCE examining please contact [email protected]

Interested in helping select the next generation of doctors?

Our Admissions Team in the School of Medicine are currently recruiting volunteers to train to be MMI interviewers.

MMI interviews aim to evaluate essential skills such as communication, critical thinking, and teamwork.  Full training will be given and interviews take place in between January and March each year.

Training to be a MMI interviewer is often the first step to getting involved with medical education here at Leeds.
