Location of Keele University
Many clinical health professionals are involved in teaching and supervising undergraduate and postgraduate students and increased recruitment to the NHS produces even greater demands for teachers. There is a need for greater professionalism and accountability as clinical teachers and this course is designed to meet this need by providing a sound theoretical and practical basis for good teaching practice. It complements the established Teaching and Learning in Higher Education Programme at Keele by emphasising small group teaching in clinical settings and education for clinical competence.
The Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education is accredited by the Higher Education Academy. The programme is aligned with Standard Descriptor 2 of the UK Professional Standards Framework for teaching and supporting learning in higher education and successful completion of the programme entitles participants to recognition as a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
The overall aim of the course is to improve the quality and effectiveness of clinical teaching and medical education through:
* Understanding and fostering a learner-centred approach
* Relating this to the requirements of professional education for clinical competence
* Developing practical, generic skills in teaching and assessment, underpinned by an understanding of educational theory
* Promoting reflective practice in education and clinical practice, using work-based assignments and a portfolio
* Promoting evidence-based education
The programme’s aims and values embody those of the Higher Education Academy and will develop participants’ understanding of the HEA areas of learning and teaching activity, core knowledge and adherence to the professional values.
Contents
The full Masters programme requires satisfactory completion of 180 credits, 120 credits made up from taught modules and the other 60 credits from a Masters dissertation. The programme will normally be available part-time over two years, with 4 taught modules in each year. Students who wish to finish their studies after successful completion of 120 taught credits may be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma, and those who successfully complete the first four modules (60 credits) may be awarded a Postgraduate Certificate. It is anticipated that many students will wish to take one of these options.
