Overview
The Graduate Certificate of Clinical Facilitation is designed for health professionals who are or aspire to be clinical educators in healthcare workplaces.
The course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to plan, implement and evaluate on-going facilitation when involved with the delivery of clinical education. It will also provide you with formal training in teaching and supervision, including the ability to overcome challenges when facilitating learning.
The course is for health professionals that are already working in a clinical setting, as students undertake assessments that can be directly applied to their professional practice and context.
The Graduate Certificate of Clinical Facilitation offers a strong theoretical and practical grounding that enables health practitioners to develop an analytical approach to clinical education. It facilitates your capacity to think critically and provide enhanced clinical facilitation and supervision of students studying to be a health professional.
