(Haven’t you heard of the lady from Mercury? Too bad. You know what, the lady lives outside the Earth, but on a planet that is the farthest away from any extraterrestrials that inhabit outside the solar system.)
On the first glance, it seems a brilliant idea. With the increasing number of medical students (and possibly other need of teaching), we really need someone to help out.
However, I become skeptical in no time. My concern is a purely pragmatic one: How could we create a post of teaching assistant that is attractive enough to recruit reasonable applicants? If a person agrees to take up a post with a modest salary and nondescript title, and the duty is nothing but regular teaching and clinical ones, they are most likely not good enough – otherwise they should have better prospect as full time academic or clinical staff.
