This article will explain the requirements of the assistantship within OpenCampus.
Full guidance on the assistantship can be found on the HYMS MBBS Year 5 Blackboard course.
A breakdown of the assistantship requirements within OpenCampus can be found below:
- Assistantship Induction form (x1)
- Immediate Life Support course
- Case Based Discussion form (x2)
- Team Assessment of Behaviour form (x3)
- Reflection form (x1)
- Review form (x1)
Please note: all of these tasks, apart from the Immediate Life Support course and Reflection form, are completed on the OpenCampus app. Forms will be deployed to your device at the start of the assistantship period.
Completed forms can be accessed via the online system under the assistantship tab on the portfolio page.
Assistantship Induction form
At the start of the assistantship, you are required to meet with your clinical supervisor to discuss and agree objectives for the assistantship period. During this meeting, you need to complete the assistantship induction form. This form requires sign-off from your supervisor.
Immediate Life Support course
Attendance at the Immediate Life Support course is compulsory. Your attendance will be recorded in OpenCampus by the Hull York Medical School Programme Delivery team.
Case Based Discussion form
During the 8 week assistantship period, you are required to complete two Case Based Discussions (CBD). These CBD forms are completed on the OpenCampus app and follow the same workflow as the CBDs you completed throughout Year 5 of the programme.
Team Assessment of Behaviour form
You are required to complete a 360-degree Team Assessment of Behaviour (TAB) based around professional behaviours. In the second or third last week of the assistantship period you need to complete 3 TAB forms on the OpenCampus app. One of these forms should be completed by a supervising consultant, one by a foundation doctor and one by a senior nurse (ideally at band 6 or 7) that you have worked with.
All three TAB forms should be completed before the assistantship review meeting takes place.
Reflection form
In the final week before the assistantship review meeting, you must complete a reflection about your assistantship experience. This form is completed via the online system. Please click on the following link to access OpenCampus online; https://opencampus.hyms.ac.uk.
Review form
In the final week of the assistantship, you need to complete an Assistantship Review form with your clinical supervisor. This form requires sign-off from your supervisor.
