Job summary
Royal College of Physicians (RCP) tutors are an essential component of the educational system, and it is important that they are acknowledged and valued in their educational leadership role. The college tutors (CTs) promote education within their directorates and oversee the training of postgraduate physician trainees. CTs also ensure high-quality training for core medical trainees (CMTs) and internal medicine (IM) stage 1 trainees, and work with supervisors of higher specialty trainees (specialty registrars (StRs)). Specifically, CTs support the educational supervision process for CMTs and IM trainees and, in many hospitals, oversee mainly core/IM training. CTs will be responsible for the support of IM trainees (stage 1 and stage 2).

Main duties of the job
The CT will work with their associate college tutors (ACTs) to support physician trainees. The Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board (JRCPTB)-proposed role of the physicians training standards advocate (PTSA) aims to further improve the quality of IM training. The increase in trainees continuing with IM (stage 2) is likely to require additional support and while, in some hospitals, the PTSA role might be integrated with that of the CT, in others, there may be need for more than one CT to carry out these responsibilities.
