Course summary
Doctors responsible for clinical teaching within the health services and universities are increasingly expected to have a postgraduate qualification in Medical Education. This programme is designed by the Royal College of Physicians and UCL to meet the needs of doctors who are intending to have a significant role in medical education.
This is a flexible, part-time, modular Masters programme specifically designed for doctors wishing to develop their roles as educators. The programme is taken sequentially, starting with the Postgraduate Certificate in year one, the Postgraduate Diploma in year two, and finally the Master's in year three.
Participants develop the ability to adopt a learner-centred teaching approach, structure teaching, and set objectives that enhance their students' learning. You will apply educational theory and research to your own teaching practice, recognise how assessment theory should inform practice in assessment of medical competence, and be able to effectively support learners. The face-to-face format provides opportunities for networking and sharing good educational practice with peers and senior educators.
On completion, you will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to play a significant educational role in your workplace and/or take on an academic role in medical education.
Who this course is for
The programme is open to doctors from Foundation Year 2 through to consultant level, with some teaching and assessment experience and a commitment to developing as a medical educator. The programme is delivered face-to-face at the RCP site in London, so applicants must be prepared to attend in person. Doctors responsible for clinical teaching within the health services and universities are increasingly expected to have a Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education. Doctors involved in curriculum and course development will find the Postgraduate Diploma particularly relevant to their work.
