As a health educator, you probably recognise that although health educators have extensive knowledge and skills in their professional discipline, the art and science of passing knowledge from one generation to the next are often overlooked in the context of demanding clinical, teaching, and research responsibilities.
Education has always been at the core of what it means to practise in the health sciences. Health professionals accept that, as part of their role, they will be involved in educating new generations of health professionals.
The truth is that many health professionals have no formal training in educational theory. Furthermore, busy schedules leave little time for improving your educational knowledge and skills by attending scheduled courses or workshops. For this reason, the Graduate Diploma of Health Professional Education offers knowledge and skills in a flexible and contextualised manner to health professionals who are also tertiary educators.
The Graduate Diploma of Health Professional Education provides a pathway for health professionals interested in developing their knowledge and skills in education, aiming to become exemplary educators and educational role models. Over the course of your studies, you will gain a sound understanding of contemporary learning theory and a vast repertoire of educational skills aimed explicitly at best practice in modern health education contexts.
A Graduate Diploma in Health Professional Education will give you the skills and knowledge to pursue an education role in the following fields: medicine, nursing and allied health services.
