I’m an Anaesthetics registrar, with a particular interest in how we teach practical as well as non-technical skills. Though I primarily teach one-on-one during clinical shifts, I also enjoy facilitating simulation days and larger groups. During my Faculty Support fellowship, I’ve finished a PGCert in medical education and completed the group effort that started LEAFBUD. In my spare time I enjoy reading and getting far too serious on the squash court!

I am an anaesthetics registrar with a longstanding passion for teaching.

My name is Kati and I am an O&G trainee living in Cambridge. My teaching interests lie around widening participation and learning through visual and virtual techniques. When I'm not playing Playstation on my sofa, I am usually trying not to fall off of a climbing wall or cycling (slowly) around Cambridgeshire.
Hi I’m Zain and I am a dental core trainee in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery. Teaching fellow core trainees, foundation and general dentists in live and remote scenarios has been a highlight of my academic career.

I’m an GPST2 registrar, with a particular interest in Aviation Medicine and Education. I am excited to see how learning will evolve in the next decade as it incorporates technology, novel ways of teaching and learning from parallel fields as aviation. LEAF-BUD will equip me with the skill set necessary to explore these ideas and hopefully contribute to faculty wide improvements.

My name is Mao and I am a core psychiatry trainee with Cambridgeshire and Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust. I first started my teaching journey as a student through the very fun and dynamic "Extreme Psychiatry" program at King's College London. Since then, I've continued to build upon my experience, mostly teaching individual students and small groups of medical students as well as members of the multidisciplinary teams I work with. Over the past year, I have been undertaking a PGCert in Medical Education with the University of Cambridge, which has fuelled my interest in educational theory and teaching skills. I'm looking forward to sharing my learning through my work with the LEAF-BUD faculty! I also have a keen interest in research and I have recently been appointed as an Academic Clinical Fellow. Alongside medicine, I am an artist. My creative endeavours have given me an extra perspective into my medical journey, and I hope to bring it into my teaching practice as well!
