Program Objectives and Learning Outcomes

The program is a multidisciplinary study of clinical education for practicing clinicians with teaching responsibilities. Clinical educators study the knowledge, reasoning, practical activities and skills within the environment of the ward and other clinical settings. They are required to observe and document clinical teaching and learning, and undertake action research with the aim of improving the clinical teaching and learning in these settings.

The program also aims to foster a rational and rigorous approach to understanding clinical reasoning and decision making.
