University (HEI) Face-to-Face
Tier 3 – Educational Supervisor - core content
- Educational Theory
- Assessment
- Learners needs/safety
- Learning styles
- Peer-peer learning
HEE have partnered with three of our regional Higher Education Institutes, linked to our medical schools, to develop and provide face-to-face teaching on the academic basis of educational supervision that supports the trainer in the areas of supervision they expected to provide.
The content of the contact days is pertinent to the requirements of the tier, mapped to the academy of medical educators and GMC standards for educational supervision. Tier 3 day has different content to Tier 2 in order to build on previous knowledge, meet the increasing demands on the supervisor, and develop the individual educator.
Tier 2 contact day should be undertaken before Tier 3 contact day, and should be followed up by attending an HEE contact day after a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 18 months.
To gain the most from the contact day it is anticipated the learner will have completed the recommended e-LfH modules before attending.
The contact days are free to delegates at a choice of three universities across East of England and will be accredited by the Academy of Medical Educators and award external CPD points.
