Format

Module one: online learning                                                                                                                        Begin with six interactive online sessions, which provide a foundation in clinical education techniques and principles. This is estimated to take approximately four hours. 

1-2-1 virtual session                                                                                                                                      Approximately one to two weeks before the face-to-face day, you will have a 30-minute virtual meeting with a faculty member. This session will help you prepare for a practice training session and address any individual needs. You will be contacted by email to arrange a date for this session. 

Module two: face-to-face training day                                                                                                          Spend a full day in hands-on, interactive sessions where you will practice delivering clinical education and receive feedback. The in-person component is designed to give you real-world experience in a supportive environment. 

Module three: online learning                                                                                                                      Following the face-to-face day, continue your development with follow-up online learning sessions. These will help consolidate your learning and ensure you are prepared for ongoing teaching roles. This is estimated to take approximately two hours.
