Background to the course
The course is based on knowledge, skills and expertise developed through PsychED UP, a simulation-based teaching course for third-year medical students at King’s College London (KCL). It builds upon ‘Extreme Psychiatry’, a successful voluntary course delivered at KCL between 2004 and 2018.
Following the award of a £10,000 Health Innovation Network (HIN) South London small grant in 2018, Drs Sophie Butler and Roxanne Keynejad recruited, trained and developed a multidisciplinary team of 40, to co–produce, implement and iteratively develop the new PsychED Up course, tailored to the training and educational needs of future doctors in the modern NHS, which is now embedded within the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust’s core psychiatry training programme. It was shortlisted for the Association for the Study of Medical Education (ASME)’s Teaching Innovation & Excellence (TIE) Prize, 2019.
After taking this course, you will be able to:
- Understand and develop your personal style and skills as an educator using a theoretical underpinning
- Design the learning objectives, core values, curriculum and outline content of a teaching session or course that uses experiential learning activities (including, but not limited to, simulation)
- Appreciate the benefits of multidisciplinary co-production in medical education
- Plan the iterative development and evaluation of a teaching session or course, informed by medical education theory
- Gain an in-depth understanding of simulation theory and practice
- Schedule the next steps in your journey to implementing your pilot session or course.
