Summary
Become an exceptional educator. Gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to deliver high-quality teaching, and empower your students to meet modern healthcare challenges and provide effective care.
Course description This course allows healthcare professionals to connect the theoretical principles of effective learning and teaching with their practice as educators. It is suitable for all health professions educators and is designed to enable you to fit your studies around your professional commitments. Students come from a wide range of disciplines, including doctors, dentists, nurses and physician associates.
The University of Sheffield is a leading centre for medical education: this course has been running for more than 20 years and you will be taught by a highly experienced, multi-disciplinary team.
Study key concepts in learning, teaching, assessment and curriculum – for example, how to design and facilitate effective learning – beginning with more managed settings such as lectures, seminars, skills-based sessions and one-to-one tutorials.
You will then learn how to develop safe, effective and sustainable learning in your workplace, focussing on helping your learners effectively integrate and participate in the clinical setting, become independent practitioners and develop their skills.
In the final part of the course, you will evaluate an area of a curriculum you are familiar with and propose ways to improve it. The learning focuses on what a curriculum is, frameworks for its design, how to evaluate it, the role of assessment and the influence of policy.
