Master of Medical Education (MMedEd) (CID1588)

The full-time Master of Medical Education is designed for individuals who teach and lead in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. It is also suitable for intercalating medical or dental students who have a strong interest in medical education practice or careers.

The course offers an in-depth exploration of the fundamentals of teaching and learning, together with a critical analysis of assessment methods in medical education. Topics covered include work-based competency assessment, professionalism evaluation, and knowledge assessment, as well as the latest developments in technology-enhanced learning.

Participants examine the complexities of medical training within a regulated framework, focusing on quality management, support for learners and educators, student success, retention, attainment, and fitness to practise.

A strong emphasis is placed on research, with students engaging with theory, evidence, and practice while designing and conducting their own independent study under expert supervision.

Participants receive one-on-one support alongside regular peer group sessions that encourage collaboration and shared learning.
