Vacancy with: 
Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh

Following Dr Conor Maguire’s recent election as Vice President (International), which will come in to effect as from the AGM on 29th of November 2019, we are now seeking to recruit his successor as RCPE Director of Education. 

The post holder will be responsible for the strategic growth of the College's educational programme, including the development and management of alliances with innovative universities and industry partners, to bring new medical education and Postgraduate (PG) products and qualifications to the market whilst ensuring maximum impact and income from current agreements. 

With overall responsibility for leading the design and delivery of an innovative and integrated programme of conferences, symposia and events. The Director of Education will focus on growth and leverage the benefits of emerging trends, such as Learning 4.0, to position the College as an exemplar in medical education.  As a globally focused organisation with over 40% of our membership located beyond the boundaries of the UK, including a growing number in digitally developing nations. There is an increasing need for the College to connect, engage and enthuse our global community to enable them in working collectively to improve the quality of healthcare across the world. Therefore, involvement in the development of the online Education Portal as a world class learning and development resource will become a larger feature of the education remit in the coming years. An interest in how digital can enhance and transform the educational experience and attract collaboration with strategic partners would be extremely beneficial 

Any UK or International Fellow who is in good standing may apply for the role, noting the special responsibilities. The post-holder will be appointed for a three-year period.
