This course aims to enthuse and inspire educators across all health professions. Through guided critical reflection on practice, the course will enable students to teach and supervise learners in the health professions in line with their moral and professional values.

The course aims to enable students to design, change, assess and evaluate curricula and courses of study. The course aims that students will be confident applying education theory and qualitative research to improve education in healthcare settings.

The course has been designed using participatory curriculum design methods, with constructive alignment between content, teaching and assessment at its core. We strongly believe in faculty development as a way to foster authentic, expert pedagogy. We have focused on student experience and connections with faculty and peers, meaning our students feel that they belong at BSMS.

The course allows professional accreditation with Advance HE (at associate fellowship level in the first instance).
