Course Overview

Teaching is an essential part of the medical profession, and healthcare professionals have to keep learning as well as teaching throughout their career. Whether it is teaching trainees, colleagues and students or participating in work-based learning, healthcare professionals have to gain and impart knowledge at all stages. 

However, they rarely get any formal teaching training or degree for playing the role of instructors. Hence, the Teaching Healthcare Professionals Course by Future Learn aims to provide healthcare professionals with the vital knowledge and skills to train other healthcare professionals formally. 

The micro-credential programme in Teaching Healthcare Professionals explores several teaching activities, methods and formats suitable for the healthcare environment. Besides, it will also focus on lesson planning and learner-centered teaching to train medical professionals in teaching techniques. 

Furthermore, the 10-week long micro-credential programme includes project-based assignments for better understanding and professional credentials for candidates. Candidates will also earn 10 UK credits from the University of Glasgow upon finishing the course.
