M.Sc Advanced Healthcare Practice and Research
Course Overview
The overall aim of the MSc Advanced Healthcare Practice and Research is two-pronged:
- The first aim is to develop participants’ capacity to take a leadership role in relation to teaching healthcare students. The programme will empower participants to become competent and self-directed clinical educators. Many healthcare professionals report feeling under-trained to take on the responsibilities of the clinical educator role. Lack of knowledge, skills and confidence in teaching and assessing students particularly weak and challenging students are commonly cited concerns. This MSc will provide opportunities for participants to advance their skills in teaching, assessment and research in the clinical context. Participants will become skilled role models in the implementation of high quality educational environments to enhance practice for educators, students and clients.
- The second aim of this MSc is to advance participants’ capacity in relation to research in their chosen clinical field of specialism. There is an increased emphasis on evidence-based practice within healthcare professions. The aims of this MSc are also to develop learners with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to use and contribute to evidence-based practice and to enable them to take a leadership role in designing and implementing research to support best practices.
On completion of the MSc participants will be able to:
- Critically appraise, design and implement evidence based clinical teaching approaches and methods;
- Critically appraise assessment methodology and its impact on the learner and the learning environment;
- Design, implement and reflect on procedures which enhance the quality of student placements;
- Critically appraise, design and manage a piece of semi-independent research
