Our new MA in Medical and Health Professions Education is a part-time Distance Learning programme. All content will be delivered online and through distance learning methods.
The MA in Medical and Health Professions' Education aims to promote excellence in contemporary medical and health professions education (MHPE) for academics, clinicians, and support staff responsible for educating health care professionals from any discipline or level.
The course is practice based and theoretically grounded. It will provide you with the knowledge, skills and competencies relating to MHPE in both the university and clinical context, enabling you to improve your teaching practice and develop a reflective, critical, and theoretical approach to planning, delivering, and evaluating your learners' educational experiences. The course has been thoughtfully designed as a flexible, interprofessional course to meet the development needs of educators at all stages of their career, with exit points at Certificate and Diploma levels as well as the full masters.
To acknowledge medical and health professionals’ work and other commitments, this Masters’ programme is designed as a three year, part-time, distance learning programme to provide the most flexibility to combine work and study.
The course combines high quality online interactive workshops with self-directed study, supported by tutorials, individualised feedback on activities and assignments and one-to-one meetings. The programme uses a multi-disciplinary, research-informed approach to teach the modules and requires students to participate in live online sessions and online discussions and activities in their own time.
What does this programme offer?
The programme will enable students to develop their skills, knowledge, and behaviours to meet the following aims:
  1. To provide a framework in which educators and support staff can critically review and develop theoretical perspectives and practical skills in facilitating their learners’ experience.
  2. To support participants in systematically and creatively analysing the complexities of medical and health professions’ education; using techniques which build on their own experience; involve active and reflective learning and ensure the integration of contemporary theory and practice.
  3. To help prepare healthcare professionals for education leadership positions and collaborative interprofessional educational practice.
  4. To enable students to gain practical experience of course design, delivery, and evaluation.
  5. To support and prepare students to develop their skills and interest in research in medical and health professions’ education practice and pedagogy.
