The anatomy demonstrator
BMJ Career Focus, 04/22/09

Shaker H - Although a few deaneries have managed to integrate anatomy demonstration into foundation and core surgical training schemes, many of the remaining posts have stayed as stand alone roles outside the surgical rotations. Due to the changes in the structure of training and the annual competition for posts, this type of post is likely to become a stopgap job for trainees who haven’t got the jobs they wanted post-FY2/ST2 level or for those who want a break from clinical medicine. I strongly recommend this post for anybody who likes teaching and is looking to go into a specialty where anatomy plays a role, particularly surgery and radiology. Although sometimes a challenge, it will not only enhance your CV but enhance your ability to teach and enhance your basic science knowledge helping you become a better all round clinician.
