PG CERT. CLINICAL EDUCATION (PART TIME ONLINE) - JANUARY 2021 ENTRY
Studying for a Postgraduate Certificate in Clinical Education at UEA will set you apart as a leader and educator in your field. Designed for health and social care professionals, it’s a great way to develop your teaching, support and supervision skills, so that you can help others to learn, whether in clinical practice or higher education.
You can complete your PG Cert qualification in one year part-time, during which you’ll explore clinical education theory and practice, and apply your knowledge and skills to work-based projects. You’ll develop fresh insights and a new level of critical thinking, and you’ll also get to grips with research methodologies.
If you are an excellent communicator and have a desire and aptitude for teaching, our course will open new doors for you. You could become a full-time educator, a mentor, or a supervisor in a healthcare setting. Either way, you’ll graduate ready to train and inspire the healthcare workforce of the future.
About
Our course offers you the ideal opportunity to learn from experienced clinical educators in an inter-professional context. Our teaching will be delivered online through our Virtual Learning Environment BlackBoard, using a combination of asynchronous and synchronous methods. All course activities are designed to facilitate critical thinking, collaboration, workplace-based reflection and learning, and professional development. The course attracts students from a variety of professional backgrounds across the fields of health and social care, including intercalating MBBS students. This rich mix of student knowledge, skills and experience is an incredible resource, challenging you to think about the different ways different people learn and helping you grow into an adaptable and creative teacher in the future. Throughout the course you’ll explore advances in both theory and practice in clinical education, and you’ll apply what you have learned to work-based projects. You will increase your knowledge and skills and broaden your perspective. You’ll also develop fresh insights and get motivated to bring about change and promote excellence in clinical education.

Important Information
