The Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Education (PGDipClinEd) is a multi-disciplinary postgraduate programme in clinical education,
aimed at providing the opportunity for clinical teachers to become excellent educators
and researchers in this field. The programmes are of particular relevance to doctors
involved in delivering medical undergraduate or specialist training programmes,
clinical nurse educators, and other health professionals with a role in education.
The programme offers a range of courses on topics including the core principles
of educational theory, curriculum planning, clinical teaching, simulation, e-learning,
evaluation and assessment and current trends in clinical education.
This programme is offered by the Centre for Medical and Health Sciences Education.
The courses are available in a Distance or flexible learning format.
In addition, there is a requirement
for attendance at a two-day workshop for some courses. The programmes aim to have
a high degree of relevance to workplace practice, and therefore course assignments
will be work-based.
