However, there is a perception that, equally, many trainees have no clear understanding of the roles and functions of STCs in relation to their training and, furthermore, the relation of their STC to its local deanery. This might also extend to consultant educational trainers who are less involved in the broader provision of postgraduate medical training (although, ideally this should not be the case). Here, I provide a brief guide to the role of STCs in training and their relation to their local deanery.}, issn = {1470-2118}, URL = {https://www.rcpjournals.org/content/12/4/341}, eprint = {https://www.rcpjournals.org/content/12/4/341.full.pdf}, journal = {Clinical Medicine} }
