Qualifications in clinical education for psychiatrists

John McLachlan, Associate Dean of Medicine

We were interested to read the article by Dinniss et al (Psychiatric Bulletin, March 2007, 31, 107–109) on qualifications in clinical education for psychiatrists. We wish to draw attention to postgraduate programmes in medical education (including MSc, PGDip and PGCert) run by Durham University, which did not feature in the list. These are particularly relevant in that Dinniss et al identify a number of deficiencies in the course they undertook: some modules only had marginal relevance to their needs, and they would have valued greater opportunities to develop practical skills in delivering teaching and supporting learning. Our programmes have a strong bias towards practical approaches as opposed to being focused on research, although of course good teaching practice is also research informed. Details of our courses are available from the Durham University website at http://www.dur.ac.uk/school.health/postgraduate/taught/medicaleducation
