“By creating we think, by living we learn” Patrick Geddes
The Centre for Medical Education's major aim is to undertake research into making teaching and learning more effective in all phases of education within the health care professions. It has a major interest in providing courses for teachers in the health care professions. The Centre receives funding from a wide range of bodies for research, training and development of up-to-date packages for health care professionals. Centre staff have a variety of backgrounds within health care education. Teaching is supported by a state-of-the-art computer suite, desk top publishing facilities and a fully stocked library.
