About the CMHSE

The Centre for Medical and Health Sciences (CMHSE) Education is a hub for health professional's education research and scholarship. CMHSE sits in the School of Medicine and works across all schools within the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences to promote excellence in teaching and learning.     

Our centre includes a team of academics from multiple disciplines who deliver current and practical clinical education to our students and to other teaching staff, including blended learning programmes that are flexible to the needs of busy clinicians. Our team have diverse research strengths in such areas as simulation, interprofessional learning, cultural safety, professional identity, patient safety, well-being, equity, artificial intelligence and competency-based medical education. We work closely with teachers and clinicians to foster strong teaching and learning skills and a sense of community.

CMHSE is the only centre in New Zealand to offer a master’s degree in Clinical Education, and as such, our students span the country. Whether you are looking to develop your clinical teaching skills, take on educational leadership roles, or embark on an academic career in health professions education, we can help.

We offer a range of options and opportunities, from postgraduate certificates to PhDs. We trust you will find your study with us relevant, practical and inspiring.
