Our participants say
‘I am really enjoying studying enjoying for my Masters in Clinical Education. The seminar facilitators
are very supportive, and always willing to answer my questions. I find the face-to-face nature of the
seminars is perfect to develop my understanding of education literature as the group participation allows
me to question and to really develop my ideas, and to gain another perspective on the literature. The
seminars are always very interactive, filled with different learning activities and paced well. I have
looked at my teaching in a different light, and have discovered lots of new ideas I can introduce. I have
even started to develop my own research projects. Of course the coursework isn’t easy, but the preparation
of the seminars and reading, coupled with the supportive faculty makes this achievable, and I feel a real
sense of accomplishment from truly understanding the literature, and developing my own ideas in the
field of medical education.’
