Medical education is at the core of healthcare provision globally. Ensuring the future workforce is prepared to meet the challenges of modern healthcare means we need medical education experts to help shape practice.

At the Centre for Medical Education - founded over  50 years ago by Professor Ronald Harden OBE - we help medical educators to reach their goals, and prepare to train the workforce of the future.

Our wide-ranging curriculum fits around you and your working life, whether you're new to teaching and training, or wish to advance existing skills and knowledge.

You'll start with two core modules which will give you a strong overview of the core concepts of medical education.

You'll then choose a range of optional modules to gain a qualification that fits you and your goals. Following successful completion of the Diploma and meeting progression requirements, students will select either the Research route (60 credit) or Scholarship route (60 credit Linking Theory to Practice (LTtP). However far you take your qualification with us, you'll be supported and cohorted with likeminded professionals who can share insight into their professional practice.

We also offer specialist PGCerts for those teaching in anaesthetics, dentistry, general practice, oncology, radiology, and surgery.
