About the course

This course is designed to help professionals improve their knowledge and application of the skills directly related to their roles as research-informed educators of Evidence-Based Health Care.

The MSc in Evidence-Based Health Care (Teaching and Education) will position you to integrate theory and research evidence, critical reflection and principles of design, assessment and evaluation in planning and delivering effective education in evidence-based medicine and health care. It can be taken part-time alongside work commitments, generally over two to four years.

This is a joint programme between the Nuffield Department of Primary Care Health Sciences and the Department for Continuing Education. The programme is led by staff from the renowned Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine in Oxford.

This programme has teachers and contributors who are internationally recognised leaders in the field of evidence-based health care, research-led teaching and experts in medical education and research. The flexible structure of the course has been devised to suit people studying alongside professional commitments and to accommodate student choice.

The aims of the course are for you to:

  • continue your professional development as educators, support the professional development of others, and to play a leading role in furthering education in evidence-based health care;
  • foster your leadership in the teaching and education of evidence-based health care throughout the health professional education continuum;
  • enable you to develop your teaching role in clinical and educational settings, including the use of educational technologies and online/virtual environments;
  • teach core concepts of evidence-based health care including research methods, critical appraisal, biostatistics, and translational science effectively and with confidence;
  • undertake effective course design and evaluation in evidence-based health care;
  • broaden and deepen your knowledge of relevant theoretical frameworks and educational research evidence;
  • inform practice with the best available evidence regarding effective methods and approaches to education in evidence-based health care; and
  • develop skills to undertake rigorous evaluation of educational interventions including evidence syntheses and small-scale research studies contributing to the evidence-base for effective education in evidence-based health care.

Assessment

Assessment for each module will be based on a written assignment of not more than 4,000 words. The dissertation will be on a topic chosen in consultation with your supervisor and the course director and should not normally exceed 15,000 words.

Graduate destinations

It is anticipated that most part-time students commencing this programme are already in employment. The MSc offers health care professional educators opportunities to enhance their working lives by:

updating and improving their educational practice
facilitating effective and timely decision making in education
developing and applying research critically to improve teaching and learning for individuals, peers and organisations
disseminating and translating knowledge for improving educational practice
opening up new career opportunities.
