volunteered to be the tag-F1 / tutor for the final year assistantships after the undergrad team sent out several emails to appeal for tutors due to a shortage.
was assigned students on gastro despite me being on acute med and no gastro ward time (the gastro f1’s don’t do acute med either, in this hospital gastro ‘takes’ from surgical assessment). also wants me to come in to meet the students on their first day when I’m on AL, then says i need to arrange for someone else to come meet the students after some pushback. then wouldnt give me any of the other tutor’s contact details.
finally fed up and sent the clinical teaching fellows an email describing the situation. it’s been two days and no response. just called the undergrad team up asking for a response / direct contact with the teaching fellows, and was told on the phone i’ve been ‘removed’ as a tutor.
it’s no wonder medical education in this country is shambles. really off putting when you just want to do something to help out.
