Online Medical Teaching Skills

Our Medical Teaching e-Learning Course for Doctors has been designed to introduce doctors of all grades to the principles of effective teaching skills within a medical context. Designed in a modular format, it is ideally suited to be completed at a pace suited for you, the doctor.

The teaching of junior colleagues and medical students plays a highly important role in producing highly skilled new doctors and teaching responsibilities have been repeatedly stressed by the GMC, NHS and Royal Colleges. With every doctor expected to take an active role in the teaching and training of others it is important that you have undergone a teaching course (per curriculum requirements).

As well as covering various teaching paradigms, those proven within both clinical and non-clinical settings, our online teaching course illustrates how you can use your teaching sessions to not only help guide colleagues and medical students, but also reaffirm and augment your own abilities.

·         Understand the role and responsibilities of a medical teacher
