Academic Unit: Medical Education
Medical Education provides high quality leadership and effective delivery of education within the Faculty of Medicine.
Currently Active: Yes
The Academic Unit for Medical Education provides a unique level of leadership and support for clinicians and scientists across Medicine and NHS organisations on the design, development and delivery of medical education.
Our excellent links with the NHS throughout the region are essential to the delivery of high quality learning, teaching and assessment in the Bachelor of Medicine (BM) programmes. The University's achievements in this area were recognised with a commendation from the General Medical Council.
Medical Education manages three BM programmes, designed to meet the needs of more than 1,000 medical undergraduates and preparing doctors for 21st Century healthcare. We are now embarking on a new European BM programme in collaboration with a German healthcare provider and the first students will enrol on this course in 2013.
We are continually exploring opportunities for flexible education which adapts to the changing way people want to learn. Southampton has many exciting education collaborations with the NHS and national and international links, as we expand on novel delivery methods such as eLearning for staff development. Our expertise in workplace learning, healthcare professions, admission and selection into medical school, staff development and assessment for medical education sets us apart as leaders in medical education.
The Academic Unit comprises two main groups: the Medical Education Development Unit (MEDU) and the Centre for Learning Anatomical Sciences (CLAS).
