Clinical Education University of Galway

Overview

When the courses commenced in 2005 they were the first multidisciplinary programmes for clinical education in Ireland, and among the first worldwide. Over the intervening number of years, the programmes have grown, developed and evolved to continue to help participants to become effective clinical supervisors and motivators of student learning in various roles, disciplines and settings, both nationally and internationally.  All three programmes are delivered online via distance learning, thus making it possible for applicants in full-time work, based in Ireland or abroad, to participate.
