Edinburgh Medical School

Courses for educators

Medical Education runs a variety of education courses, designed for those teaching undergraduate students or postgraduate clinical trainees.

If you wish to undertake certified training, there's a range of different courses available from the Centre for Medical Education -- everything from an occasional two-hour session to a three year part-time online Masters.

Experts can help you develop your skills through peer review of your teaching practice, with all courses designed to address the General Medical Council's standards for the recognition of trainers.

The Centre is also happy to work with teaching leads to offer bespoke faculty development for their teaching teams and to help module organisers create sessions for their annual module team meetings.
