The Director of Clinical Training (DCT) plays an integral part in the training of junior doctors; in addition to their usual hospital commitments they provide support, supervision and counsel to prevocational doctors.
This document outlines the general duties and responsibilities of a DCT. Due to the various settings in which prevocational medical education takes place, the role of the DCT will vary slightly from hospital to hospital.
A DCT should be a practising clinician with educational interest, teaching skills, management skills, motivated and able to motivate others, good time management and conflict resolution skills.
