Careers

Many of our students are already in employment in the healthcare sector/clinical academics. This programme will enhance your opportunity to take on more demanding roles within medical schools or faculties of healthcare or in management roles within hospital trusts. The full Masters programme enhances opportunities for clinical educational research, PhD programmes and leadership roles within higher education and healthcare sectors and some of our MSc Clinical Education students have published from their assignments and dissertations

Students will also get PGcert and PGDip as exit award.

Modules

In this module you will learn to undertake a literature search on a clinical education topic and make sense of the information you find. This is an important activity for clinical educators, in order to find out about new and innovative approaches to teaching, learning and assessment; and to make decisions about clinical education that are grounded in good theory and evidence. You will learn about the opportunities and challenges associated with incorporating an evidence-based approach to Clinical Education. The assessment will be a literature review, which we hope some participants will go on to publish in a peer-reviewed journal such as The Clinical Teacher in order to engage with a wider scholarly community.
