The international clinical tutor teaching fellowship program is a unique, locally developed program designed for recently graduated physicians from around the world who want to enhance their teaching and communication skills, as well as pursue board examinations (USMLE, PLAB, etc.) to be accepted into postgraduate residency programs. Tutors are recruited initially for one year; upon satisfactory performance, tutors are renewed for another year. During this program, they are expected to pass the board examinations and move on to postgraduate training.
The Clinical Tutors are trained by the department faculty to function as preceptors for the small groups and lab experiences for the students.
