    Studying on the Queen Mary PEM MSc has been one of the best decisions of my career. The format of an online forum supported by weekly [recorded] tutorials has allowed me to find time to enjoy studying alongside what is already a busy work schedule. This has given me the privilege of learning with colleagues from all over the world and from the faculty from QMUL and DFTB who are inspirational pioneers in medical education. The modules cover a wide range of topics in Paediatric Emergency Medicine and allow detailed exploration of key presentations. There is also a focus on critical appraisal and knowledge translation, which helps to build skills in both formal and informal academic writing, and multi-media presentation. I genuinely feel that the reading, writing, and reflection undertaken throughout this course will be help me in delivering compassionate and evidence-based care to children and their families, and in knowing how to share such approaches with the wider medical community.
