This innovative and contemporary programme is designed for medical doctors, medical and nursing educators, other healthcare professionals and technicians with a specialist interest in simulation based medical education. In addition to being a highly sought after method of learning and teaching, clinical simulation (both high and low fidelity) is seen as an effective method of reducing clinical risk.
The MSc Health and Medical Simulation programme will provide students with the skills to maximize the use of simulation based medical education to enhance the knowledge, skills and experiences of their students, act as consultants in building their own simulation provision and the use of simulation as a means of identifying system failure.
Postgraduate Medicine at the University has been highly evaluated for its standard of teaching and student support and learners will benefit from using an expanding range of simulation facilities supported by expert academic, clinical and technical staff.
The coursework follows a flexible, modular approach which offers students the opportunity to study a comprehensive range of subjects pertinent to the provision of high-quality simulation education practice. The curriculum contained within the two specialist modules includes simulation pedagogy, the design and delivery of scenarios, contemporary debriefing, planning simulation facilities, programming simulators, patient-safety, human factors and non-technical skills, clinical governance and risk management.
