Abstract:
Post-Graduate Education is very important in the world of Paediatric and Neonatal Medicine. The changing face of education can equip the Healthcare Professional with many transferrable skills as well as furthering their education in the field. Modern pedagogy and methodology of education is explored in this presentation with the aim of explaining how a course of study can not only increase academic and subject-specific knowledge but improve and develop real world capabilities and transferrable skills. One such course at Imperial College London (the MSc in Applied Paediatrics) is used as an example of how to enter and succeed at Postgraduate education and why it is important and useful to study in a multi-disciplinary team environment.
As we reflect on how learning can develop practice, we consider how further education can enable practitioners to manage unexpected turns in the healthcare professional’s career journey.
