Project - Centre for excellence in interprofessional education (NI)

Type: CETL (NI)

Sub-type: 01: Medicine, Dentistry and Veterinary Medicine

Purpose: Educational Development

Details: The Centre for Excellence in Interprofessional Education (NI) will undertake educational research and develop programmes of interprofessional learning and assessment within the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and throughout the University. The team will undertake exploratory research to identify subject areas that will benefit from an interprofessional approach and the implications of this for future curriculum and assessment development. The team will also investigate how greater understanding of students' and teachers' learning styles and learner-teacher interaction, can inform interprofessional curriculum and assessment developments. Appropriately for healthcare students and pertinent to other academic disciplines where work-based learning occurs, these issues will be examined in relation to classroom and workplace learning. Instruments will be developed, trialled and evaluated for this purpose. Similarly, the team will expand this approach to consider how better understanding of learning and teaching styles, and learner-teacher interaction might contribute to mass higher education. The team will work closely with key stakeholders including professional bodies, employers, students and other UK CETLs to ensure effective dissemination and sharing of expertise at all stages of development. s.morison@qub.ac.uk. The Deputy Director is actively involved and the primary contact, and on the relevant Management/Advisory Board.
