YouÕll gain skills in education which youÕll later apply with patients and colleagues in your practice. YouÕll develop practical teaching skills and gain a solid understanding of educational theory: how memory works, how groups learn, what factors affect success, how professionalism develops, and how to assess knowledge and skills.

As well as turning you into a confident teacher, the programme will prepare you to design and run modules and assessments, and to understand mechanisms of quality assurance.

YouÕll undertake a year-long module in research methods which includes attendance at the Researching Medical Education conference. A supervised individual research project puts into practice what youÕve learnt.

All students submit poster abstracts to the Association for Medical Education in Europe summer conference, with around two-thirds of these accepted each year.
