HCS5100 · Foundations of health professions education: Clinical Simulation

Overview

This unit will introduce students to theoretical and practical aspects of learning and teaching. After reflecting on their educational philosophy, participants will apply theories, concepts, terms and processes of curriculum design to their own learning contexts. Students will then implement, assess and evaluate learning activities in selected clinical and other relevant settings.
