This articulated suite of courses aims to provide health professionals with advanced knowledge and skills to deliver high-quality education, evaluate and improve learning and teaching, undertake clinical education research, and lead education in health service and other settings.
The courses have an authentic and applied focus, in that learners are guided to apply evidence to local educational practices and processes, as a basis for improvement and change. This delivers direct benefit to the individual, their own students, and organisations.
The Clinical Education postgraduate courses at Flinders support health and social care practitioners to advance their expertise in education.
“
The course content on offer is varied and enables students to tailor their masters to what interests them. I love the inclusive nature of the course. Being in a course with other health professionals enables you to see different points of view, which particularly working in the acute setting is valuable no end.
