Last modified: 05 Aug 2021 13:04


Course Overview

This course will start with an overview of the current educational and political drivers impacting on medical education and an account of its regulation in the UK. The course will then progress in more detail through sections on Curriculum Planning, Teaching and Learning (Practice and Theory), Assessment and finally Evaluation.
