Graduate Certificate
Expand your skills as an educator alongside a network of engaged multidisciplinary clinicians
The Graduate Certificate in Clinical Education is a flexible, one-year program for health professionals seeking to develop their skills as educators.
The first step in the University's Excellence in Clinical Teaching (EXCITE) program, this postgraduate course sees you work alongside clinical teachers from a variety of professional backgrounds, share expertise, build networks and grow your career opportunities.
Designed for health professionals currently involved in clinical teaching, you will gain valuable insight and practical experience in clinical education theory, practice and research.
You can choose to study in standard mode or intensive mode. Both modes are delivered over one year with the same content, however in the intensive mode, synchronous sessions are delivered over a more condensed period. This flexibility allows you to fit study around your work schedule and become a clinical education leader at a pace that suits.
This post graduate program focuses on practical skills you can immediately apply to your clinical teaching.
