Program Description

The degree of Master of Clinical Education will be awarded after satisfactory completion of a program of advanced study of 48 units of credit and submission of a satisfactory major project based on at least one session of applied development or research in clinical education.

This is an external program which includes a small number of intensive workshops.

Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes

The program aims to provide a multidisciplinary program of study of clinical education for practicing clinicians with teaching responsibilities. The program requires clinical educators to study the knowledge, reasoning, practical activities and skills within the environment of the ward and other clinical settings, to observe and document clinical teaching and learning, and to undertake action research in its improvement.

The program also aims to foster a rational and rigorous approach to understanding clinical reasoning and decision making, and to ensure its effective learning. Three levels of attainment are proposed to accommodate the differing needs among clinical teachers.
