Advanced Medical Educators Course (AMEC)

 COVID-19 Information

 

Aims & objectives

This is a one-day course for Primary* and Secondary care clinicians. For those in Primary care you may be a Foundation supervisor, a Retainer Mentor, or acting as a Clinical Supervisor in the OOH setting only.  For those in Secondary care you should either be a Clinical or an Educational Supervisor for Foundation, Specialty or GPSTs.

The course aims to assist you to develop your skills and confidence in those roles and to take on new challenges.

It can be used to demonstrate ongoing development in relation to the Recognition of Trainers process at appraisal and revalidation and is mapped to all 7 of the AoME framework areas.  It is particularly suitable for trainers of more than 3 years’ experience.

 

Learning outcomes

The main areas of focus are:

  • Giving difficult feedback
  • Non-violent communication
  • Role modelling
  • Reflection
  • The use of narrative

 *This course is not for GPs who are GPST Educational Supervisors, as this group of trainers would be served by the Approved and Experienced Educational Supervisor Workshops.

 

Target audience

It is particularly suitable for trainers of more than 3 years’ experience.
