Foundation Year 2
Foundation Year 2 will include another 5-day taster in a specialty of your choice. You may contact the Foundation Programme Office to be able to organise this for you. Please advise us well ahead of your intended taster so that we will be able to organise this for you. You are entitled to 5 days study leave for this taster experience. You see the taster specialty timetables here.
The following Training days will be organised during Foundation Year 2:
ALS training (2 days)
A&E training day (1day): The first session was organised on the 22nd June and you can download the flyer for this day here. The 2nd session has now also been done.
General Practice training day (1day): A draft programme for this day can be seen here.
Clinical Skills and Simulation Training (Lead by Dr Josef Micallef, UK trainers will also be helping to organise this)
Career day - Windmills (Lead by Dr Pierre Ellul with UK trainers in attendance) (1 day)
A Generic Teaching Programme will be delivered every Friday from 13.30. This time is protected time, meaning that the trainees are excused from performing clinical work during this time. Emergency work should still continue, and doctors on-call will cover for emergency work. The provisional Generic Teaching Programme can be downloaded here. An attendance of at least 70% of these teaching sessions is mandatory.
Each trainee will be assigned an Educational Supervisor for the second year. Regular meetings with the Educational Supervisor will be organised throughout the training.
The trainees are to perform the following minimum number of Assessments in Foundation Year 2:
6 Case-based discussions (CbD)
6 Mini Clinical Evaluation Encounters (Mini-CEX)
6 Directly Observed Procedural Skills (DOPS)
2 Multi-Source Feedback (MSF)
