Course programme
The Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching Evidence-Based Health Care will help you to:
- provide education and training in teaching evidence-based health care in undergraduate and postgraduate settings;
- use theories and research evidence to inform your own teaching practice in health care and educational settings;
- demonstrate the ability to teach aspects of research methods, critical appraisal and biostatistics effectively and with confidence;
- plan effective curriculum design and evaluation in evidence-based health care; and
- identify different teaching styles and theories and the challenges underpinning the evidence-base of teaching.
The course provides flexible training and experiential learning over 12 to 24 months with three modules, each consisting of five consecutive days of face-to-face teaching in Oxford with following weeks of study support through a virtual learning environment. The order in which the modules are to be taken will not be prescribed, allowing the maximum flexibility for participants to combine study with their professional commitments. Guidance may be given as to a preferred order. Participants have access to current leaders in research-led teaching and experts in medical education.
Each module will consist of a balance between the outlined strategies, in order to meet the course aims and learning outcomes. During the weeks in Oxford, there will be a balanced mix of lectures, small group work and practice sessions. This is to ensure grounding in the core ideas and principles of teaching EBHC, and to begin the acquisition of skills in reflective practice. Learning during the post-Oxford periods consists of on-line peer-to-peer learning, workplace-based activities and guided learning, with tutorial feedback, in order to develop and reinforce skills in providing and enacting reflective practice through experiential learning.
There will be a formative assessment of the presentation of own teaching and leadership as appropriate at each of the face-to-face teaching weeks. The assessment for each module will be based on a written assignment of not more than 4,000 words.
By the end of the course you will be able to:
- articulate the critical components of the practice of EBHC which is informed by your academic discipline and/or area of professional practice;
- design and evaluate teaching of the core competencies of EBM and to self-reflect efficiently on your teaching experience;
- evaluate crucial pedagogy principles and research underpinning the evidence-base for differing teaching, assessment and evaluation methods;
- apply originality in the application of teaching styles and techniques, together with a practical understanding of methodologies to enhance teaching skills tailored to your own teaching contexts;
- develop skills in practical curriculum design, delivery, assessment and evaluation in teaching and learning;
- deal with and adapt to challenging circumstances you may encounter teaching evidence-based medicine, ensuring the needs of learners are met in unison with the aims and objectives of your teaching and learning; and
- articulate how (and why) your own teaching practice and understanding of learning and teaching has evolved over time and ideas for future development.
The allocation of graduate supervision for this course is the responsibility of the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences and/or the Department for Continuing Education and it is not always possible to accommodate the preferences of incoming graduate students to work with a particular member of staff. Under exceptional circumstances a supervisor may be found outside the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences and/or the Department for Continuing Education.
Graduate destinationsIt is anticipated that most who commence this course will already be health practitioners or educators and as such will already be employed within the health or education sector. The course offers opportunities for career enhancement through the development of a better understanding of the theory and practice of teaching, and the design and evaluation of curriculum in undergraduate and postgraduate contexts. There is also the opportunity to consider further MSc and DPhil study in this area.
The Higher Education Statistics Agency, who collect data on UK HE staff with a teaching qualification, considers a PG Cert in teaching to be equivalent to Fellow of the HEA (UKPSF Descriptor 2), regardless of whether the programme is accredited by the HEA or mapped to the UKPSF.
Changes to this course and your supervision The University will seek to deliver this course in accordance with the description set out in this course page. However, there may be situations in which it is desirable or necessary for the University to make changes in course provision, either before or after registration. In certain circumstances, for example due to visa difficulties or because the health needs of students cannot be met, it may be necessary to make adjustments to course requirements for international study. Where possible your academic supervisor will not change for the duration of your course. However, it may be necessary to assign a new academic supervisor during the course of study or before registration for reasons which might include sabbatical leave, parental leave or change in employment. For further information, please see our page on changes to courses.
