Overview

The Medical Education degree from the University of Cambridge has an emphasis on educational development and research activity, providing opportunities for participants to put their educational knowledge to use in their own context(s) of practice.

Increasingly, doctors, dentists and other healthcare professionals are seeking flexible career pathways that allow them to develop a portfolio of work in areas of specialty or interest, education being one of these.

The programme aims to develop individuals who are able to recognise and respond to opportunities to develop their own and others’ educational practice through the considered design and implementation of a small-scale educational research or development project.

This will include:

exploration of project design principles, including methodological choices
familiarisation with a range of educational research, development and evaluation methods
purposeful and in-depth engagement with their chosen project design methodology and linked methods
purposeful engagement with approaches to data selection, data generation and data analysis methods (linked to their chosen design)
rehearsing different ways of communicating complex ideas in written/verbal/graphic form for different audiences (eg academic audience, professional audience, members of the public etc)
