Course Summary

Develop the skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional teaching, assessment, course design and educational research, so you can inspire and lead in your area of practice and ultimately improve health outcomes.

At Hull York Medical School, we not only deliver exceptional education, but also train others to do so too – using the latest pedagogical evidence-based practice. If you are as passionate as we are about delivering high quality medical education, then your journey starts here.

Our Health Professions Education programme will equip you with the skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional teaching, assessment, course design and educational research, so you can inspire and lead in your area of practice and ultimately improve health outcomes.

We offer three routes for you to choose from – a Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma and MSc – all of which are flexible and designed to fit around your busy work schedule and home life.

Accredited by the Advance HE, you will be able to apply for Fellowship upon completion of the Certificate and completing a reflective portfolio, a status recognised by professional bodies as reaching international standards to deliver high quality education, with the right to use the post-nominal letters FHEA. Obtaining FHEA is highly recommended for those looking to work in the education sector.

Diploma (PGDip)

In the Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip), you can explore aspects of leadership and management and contemporary practices in education, supporting you to deliver quality health professions education in your clinical and teaching practice. Diploma modules are designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills upon which you can continue to build your own career, and build the foundations for a successful MSc dissertation project.

Modules

This module will provide you with the experience of conducting independent research and presenting your findings in written and spoken form. The dissertation is an opportunity for you to study a topic related to health professions education and to your own practice.
