About Medical Education, MSc, PG Dip - at Cardiff University

Our programme will appeal to those wishing to explore the issues fundamental to effective health professions education in a dynamic, stimulating and supportive setting.

Our MSc in Medical Education enables healthcare professionals with a special interest in education to professionalise the role of clinician as teacher. 

It recognises the diverse, complex and challenging contexts of both those new to educator roles and responsibilities and those with considerable years of experience. 

By studying on this programme, you will be equipped to promote excellence in learning and teaching for health professionals. Our goal is to encourage a culture for training of healthcare professionals by the development of a network of educators committed to improving the future of healthcare education. This programme is for all medical, dental and other health professionals who wish to expand their understanding of learning and teaching, and to develop their ability to apply educational theory to improve future healthcare education.

The course is highly practical and aims to model best practice in learning and teaching and draws upon a wide range of approaches to learner support and development, emphasising principles and application through interactive discussion and activities. A comprehensive series of face-to-face modules will enable you to contribute to critical dialogues that promote deeper insights into educational theory and principles applied to clinical practice. There will be time for you to develop and clarify understanding of the module topic, apply new concepts and skills, and reflect on and share experiences and insights with colleagues. Many of the projects provide the basis for practical innovations in the workplace and can also extend engagement with and contribution to the wider medical education community.

By developing a network of experienced clinical teachers our programme aims to encourage a culture for training of healthcare professionals, and demonstrate alignment of teaching and learning practice with UK Professional Standards and professional values (AdvanceHE, GMC, Academy of Medical Educators).

The course is accredited by the Academy of Medical Educators (AoME), allowing you to apply for fast-track membership. An optional 'Fellowship Pathway' is accredited by Advance HE and is available alongside year 1 study enabling you to seek Fellowship (FHEA). A final portfolio should be submitted at the end of the academic year.
