You will critically examine the issues associated with current approaches. This includes issues with theories, evidence and practice.

This will be applicable at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

What you will learn

In this module, you will:

• explore approaches to learning and teaching in the Radiology context
• learn about assessment methodologies in the Radiology context
• explore learning and teaching in multi-disciplinary teams
• learn about organisational culture and student support
• explore reflective professional practice
