Dr Kim Hayer

I am a Lecturer, forming part of the UoL-CQMU Flying Faculty for the BSc Clinical Sciences Infection and Introduction to Scientific Method, Literature and Scientific Writing units. My roles include designing and delivering curriculum for these units, and training CQMU colleagues through the 'Teach the Teachers' provision. 

I joined the Leicester Medical School in December 2020. Prior to this, I have worked across Universities in the U.K developing and delivering curricula especially in Microbiology. I have a wealth of experience with both Biological Sciences and Medicine disciplines, including (but not limited to) teaching, facilitation, research, resource and curriculum development, implementing technology in teaching, providing training to academic peers. 
I have also been involved in many International projects, including the delivery of a Biomedical CPD Programme for Chinese students and academics.  

My main interest is in pedagogical research (e.g. focusing on transnational education)
