Busy medical professionals who wish to increase and develop their knowledge want courses that are flexible and adaptable, and this PgCert fulfils that need.
Each unit combines focused study days that range over a three month period, with interactive online learning and supported self-directed study.
You will have opportunities to concentrate on your work-related professional progression, develop a critical, analytic and reflective attitude to medical and healthcare education, and grow as a medical educator and leader.
This course enables you to develop and evidence your competence as a medical educator. It combines face-to-face, on-line and practice-based learning opportunities (through teaching observation), exploring approaches to teaching, learning, curriculum development and assessment in both university and practice settings.
It is accredited by the Academy of Medical Educators and graduates may apply for membership of the Higher Education Academy (HEA) on successful completion.
The course has been designed with the diverse educational roles and responsibilities of medical educators in mind and focuses on how you can develop an informed approach to the design, delivery and evaluation of medical education and training, whether you are new to education or have considerable prior experience.
This course provides you with opportunities to develop a sound theoretical underpinning to the practice of medical education in its contemporary policy, professional and practice contexts. In doing so, it aims to foster the development of a full range of medical educator skills, providing you with opportunities to engage in a range of work-related professional development activity.
