Master of Clinical Education

The experience

Overview

The University of Melbourne’s Excellence in Clinical Teaching (EXCITE) program creates exceptional clinical educators. As a student, you will enhance your teaching skills and put educational theory directly into practice in your clinical workplace.

Delivery is immersive and practical, involving dynamic face-to-face teaching alongside online study. EXCITE courses are designed to be studied part-time, to fit around busy clinical schedules.

Courses are interprofessional, meaning you will develop a useful professional network and share diverse perspectives. You will study alongside people from many different disciplines - from physiotherapists to speech pathologists to nurses - sharing challenges and knowledge from across the spectrum of clinical experience as you develop your practice as a clinical educator.
