It is aimed at practising teachers in medicine, both basic scientists and clinicians, and is designed for those new to teaching and for teachers with some experience who would like a greater understanding of the basic principles and an update on current best practise. The course recognises that all, even those with considerable experience, can improve their skills in teaching.
