Program Overview
This online program for healthcare professionals enhances their educational roles in their sector through inter-professional learning and engagement with teaching and learning principles. Graduates may benefit from promotions or new education-focused roles within their field. The program aligns with the UK Professional Standards Framework for Higher Education and provides opportunities for independent learning and reflection.
Program Outline
Careers:
The course is designed to support those already facilitating learning as part of their employment in the healthcare professions. However, nearly 50% of graduates from the course in the academic year 2016/17 reported that the course had helped them either secure a promotion within their current field, or had taken up a new role with a substantially more educational focus. You’ll be supported through this process through a range of activities and formative assessments, complemented by individual tutorials that encourage personal reflection and goal setting, developing you as an independent learner. Studying alongside GPs, junior doctors, consultants, nurses, dentists, midwives, paramedics and other allied health professionals, discussion and inter-professional learning are key to the vibrancy of this course, enriching your student experience. On completion of the PGCert you may wish to continue your studies and progress to a full Masters in Medical and Healthcare Education.
