Programme Highlights

• Intercalation offers an opportunity to acquire and develop a greater understanding of teaching and learning, which can be valuable in your medical career.
• Completing the MSc will be equivalent to earning a Postgraduate Certificate in Medical or Clinical Education, a credential that many doctors pursue later in their careers. This is equivalent to a formal teaching qualification that can be used in academic or clinical practice.
• We expect intercalating students to engage in 20 hours of teaching practice throughout the year, and we can help provide suitable teaching opportunities locally.

Professional Recognition and Accreditation

• Intercalating students who complete the PgCert will be eligible for Membership of the Academy of Medical Educators (AoME) via the AccreditationPlus route, subject to approval.
• Please note: Fellowship of Advance HE (FHEA) is not available to intercalating students.
