About

The Graduate Entry Medical School at University of Limerick with the support of colleagues in the Schools of Allied Health, Education and Department of Nursing & Midwifery have developed a Masters in Health Professions Education which is designed to meet the educator training needs of busy health professionals both locally and internationally.

Overview

The Health Professions Education programme at University of Limerick will be offered in two formats to meet the needs of busy healthcare professionals.

Blended Learning - course code MSHPEDTPA (Face to Face and Online/Distance) - targeting those students who favour the social and collaborative nature of face to face learning.

Key features of the programme include:

- Regular feedback and tutor interaction
- Innovative collaborative learning experiences with the aim of promoting a stimulating
