Course Summary

The certificate aims to foster and develop future leaders in teaching evidence-based health care by exploring different teaching styles, identifying development needs and planning effective curriculum.

This will include providing students with a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical perspectives of effective teaching in medical education, specific methods and techniques in relation to teaching evidence-based health care to different audiences, and key issues for effective curriculum design and evaluation. Participants have access to current leaders in research-led teaching and experts in medical education.

This is a joint programme between the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences and the Department for Continuing Education. The Programme works in collaboration with the renowned Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine in Oxford.

David Nunan (Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences) is the Course Director for this Programme.

Course Aims

By the end of the course you will be able to:

  • articulate the critical components of the practice of EBHC which is informed by your academic discipline and/or area of professional practice
  • design and evaluate teaching of the core competencies of EBM and to self-reflect efficiently on your teaching experience
  • evaluate crucial pedagogy principles and research underpinning the evidence-base for differing teaching, assessment and evaluation methods
  • apply originality in the application of teaching styles and techniques, together with a practical understanding of methodologies to enhance teaching skills tailored to your own teaching contexts
  • develop skills in practical curriculum design, delivery, assessment and evaluation in teaching and learning
  • deal with and adapt to challenging circumstances you may encounter in teaching evidence-based medicine, ensuring the needs of learners are met in unison with the aims and objectives of their teaching and learning
  • articulate how (and why) your own teaching practice and understanding of learning and teaching has evolved over time and ideas for future development.
