Master of Health Professions Education (Online) (Coursework and Dissertation)

About the course In today’s healthcare education system, many involved in teaching are practising clinicians who require training as managers, teachers or policymakers. The course is designed to advance the skills of our healthcare educators by imparting a deeper understanding of issues around leadership, education, research and primary care to deliver the highest standard of medical and healthcare education. Health Professions Education fosters interdisciplinary discussion and collaboration and is designed to suit a range of health professionals who seek to develop their knowledge and skills in health professional education. Fundamental issues in health professional education are addressed and a range of option units from a number of Schools and discipline areas are available. Students can also pursue a particular area of scholarly interest within health professional education. Due to the structure of the course, International Students can only commence in Semester 1, February, each year.
