MDE61003   Work Based Learning and Teaching   (20 credits)

Description

This module focuses on teaching and learning activities in the clinical workplace and takes account of the challenges and opportunities inherent in such workspaces - particularly patient safety. The module will explore how clinical workplaces can be developed as sites for learning as well as the delivery of health services including the involvement of real patients receiving real services such as clinical assessments in ambulatory care including Emergency Department, AMU, Pre-operative assessment clinics, handovers, ward-rounds, ward tasks, operating and procedural lists, outpatient clinics and general practice clinics. The module will draw upon relevant theory and concepts such as `participation¿ and `supported participation¿ to emphasise how learner agency as well as situational factors shape the learning experience. The module will also highlight how becoming a doctor, dentist or other health professional is a process of identity formation as well as knowledge/skill acquisition/increasing employability.
