Faculty of Medicine

Memorial University's Centre for Collaborative Health Professional Education and the Faculty of Education have developed a Graduate Diploma in Post-Secondary Studies (Health Professional Education).

This is an innovative program designed to enable health professionals to develop their skills as teachers and leaders in educational program design, development, evaluation and administration. The graduate diploma is intended for educators and educational leaders of formal and informal post-secondary health professional education programs.

Participants will engage in an in-depth study of the structure and organization of the post-secondary education system, theories and philosophies of adult learning and development; and through elective courses pursue studies of program development models, instructional design frameworks, evaluation and assessment techniques, teaching methods, and research design principles in post-secondary teaching and learning. Opportunities will exist for the guided study of these topics as they relate to health professional education.

The Graduate Diploma in Post-Secondary Studies (Health Professional Education) is endorsed by the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT). Check out their website at http://www.caot.ca.
