Course Overview

At Hull York Medical School, we deliver exceptional education and train others to do so using the latest pedagogical evidence-based practice. If you are as passionate as we are about providing high-quality medical education, your journey starts here.

Our Health Professions Education programme will equip you with the skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional teaching, assessment, course design and educational research. You can inspire and lead in your practice and ultimately improve health outcomes.

We offer three routes for you to choose from – a Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma and MSc – all of which are flexible and designed to fit around your busy work schedule and home life.

Accredited by the Advance HE, you can apply for Fellowship upon completion of the Certificate and completing a reflective portfolio, a status recognised by professional bodies as reaching international standards to deliver high-quality education, with the right to use the post-nominal letters FHEA. Obtaining FHEA is highly recommended for those looking to work in the education sector.

In recognition of the excellent teaching, assessment, research and scholarship standards provided on the programme, our Certificate is also accredited by the Academy of Medical Educators (AoME) – the multi-professional body which sets the standards for clinical teachers in the UK. Upon successfully completing the Certificate, students can apply for the Academy (MAcadMEd) membership, signifying that they have met the Academy’s Professional Standards for educators in medicine, dentistry and veterinary science. Obtaining MAcadMed is highly recommended for those looking to work in senior education roles within the clinical workplace.
