The Hogwarts School of Medicine: meet the staff
Albus Dumbledore BSc PhD FRS
Professor of Physiology
Head of the Medical School
Often speaks in riddles. His motto of ‘help is on hand for those who deserve it’ has not gone down well with the medical education community.

Gilderoy Lockhart MBChB FRCP
Consultant Physician
Clinical Lead for Phase 1
Renal physician who likes to lecture non-clinical years but the students don’t appreciate his ‘gloss-over’ attitude towards finer details. His superiority complex is palpable.

Remus Lupin BSc PhD FHEA
Senior Lecturer in Embryology
Lead for e-portfolio
Passionate about his subject but the students don’t take it seriously enough. Lumped with the e-portfolio job as no one else would do it. Students find he can be a bit ‘Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’ at times.

Alastor Moody BSc PhD FBPhS
Professor of Pharmacology
Cantankerous old-school scientist. Somewhat frustrated by his teaching commitments. Gets incredibly angry when medical students suggest the mechanism of action of paracetamol is well established.

Pomona Sprout BSc PhD FRSB
Professor of Entomology
Although her training has nothing to do with medicine, she attended a one day course in the supervision of problem-based learning. She regularly ‘facilitates’ PBL sessions but can be otherwise found tending to her plants.

Bill Weasley MBChB MMedEd MRCS(Part A)
Anatomy Demonstrator
Post-F2 and nobly decided to teach rather than ride the locum gravy train. Admired by first years but little respect garnered from the true academics. Calls himself a & #39;surgeon& #39; since getting Part A. Generally annoying.

Rubeus Hagrid
Professor of Medical Education
Lead for Pastoral Care
His academic credentials are unknown but he has been a pillar of Hogwarts since anyone can remember. Unfortunately a bit of a blabbermouth when it comes to students& #39; private lives.

Severus Snape BSc MSc PhD FRS

Had been a student at Hogwarts but left after third year hence never practised medicine. Abrasive to students who often tease him. Devastated when the new management disallowed cats on the premises.

Sybill Trelawney MA PhD
Professor of Sociology
Not properly appreciated by the students. Often, the medical school will & #39;mistakenly& #39; bill a physiology lecture on the timetable to ensure attendance, only for the students to find out it& #39;s a Trelawney special.
