Medical Education Research across a broad range of topics is currently ongoing in the Medical Education Unit, UCC. Our interests span the continuum of medical education from the undergraduate phase, through postgraduate and to continuing professional development.
Building on the findings of the National Survey of Trainee Experience; Your Training Counts (Medical Council, 2014), we are currently conducting a HRB-funded study entitled Exploring Clinical Learning Environments for Postgraduate Medical Education and Training. This study aims to describe barriers and facilitators to learning in clinical workplaces, to identify priority areas for quality improvement and to produce guidelines and recommendations for the design of high quality, supportive, clinical learning environments.
Other policy-relevant research currently underway has been funded by the Intern Training Network and focuses on interns' experience of the transition to practice and the quality of clinical learning environments they pass though during this time. Continuing professional development (CPD) is also a focus of our research. The Irish Network of Medical Educators have funded a project, now nearing completion, which examines doctors' attitudes towards and needs for CPD courses. Again, the aim of these studies is to inform policy and practice across the continuum of medical education.
