The postgraduate certificate in Medical & Dental Education, run by Oxford Brookes in collaboration with Oxford Postgraduate Medical & Dental Education (Oxford PGMDE), aims to support the development of reflective, critical educators in medical and dental practice, particularly in the context of one-to-one teaching in primary care settings.

Contents
The course involves a combination of residential modules and work-based learning. There are three residential modules, each lasting three or four days and involving a combination of small-group work and plenary sessions. The three modules are designed to explore different aspects of learning and teaching:
* You as a learner
* You as an educational manager
* You as an educator.
Much of the work-based learning will reflect the day-to-day activities of modern primary care and for GPs will include preparation of the practice for training.
Teaching, learning and assessment
Assessment of your competence as an educator is through completion of three assignments, a case study, an essay and a portfolio. Successful completion of each module will carry an award of 20 master’s-level credits and successful completion of all three modules will result in the PGCert in Medical & Dental Education.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test.
