Pedagogy for employees in small part-time positions

In spring 2018, the Faculty offers a course in medical didactics (5 ECTS credits) aimed at the academic staff. This is a university education course that is approved as part of basic competence.

The course provides an introduction to university pedagogical principles and tools for scientific staff at MED. It is especially aimed at employees in a 50% position or less. This employee group has a lot of teaching tasks, but due to the small part-time position, there is no requirement for pedagogical basic competence, as for employees in positions of more than 50%.

Information about the course.
Registration.
Deadline for registration: 1 February.
