Medical Education PhD / MPhil / MD

University of Liverpool

Medical education is vital for training confident and competent healthcare professionals who can effectively and safely meet evolving challenges in patient care. A PhD in Medical Education will promote independent research and scholarly inquiry, with tailored supervision and access to extensive educational resources. The PhD in Medical Education at the University of Liverpool is a partnership between you and your potential supervisor. Before agreeing to a supervision request, supervisors must have research or methodological expertise in a relevant area to the project being proposed. Once commencing your studies, you’ll learn to explore and apply research design, qualitative and quantitative methods, and educational theory of relevance to your chosen topic. Additional support available across the University includes workshops in literature searching, scientific writing, and career development. We are willing to consider collaborative supervision opportunities with healthcare institutions and other educational organisations in order enhance the practical relevance of research, both in the UK and internationally. We are also able to support research taking place away from Liverpool provided the correct ethical approvals are in place, although we do not offer a fully remote programme.
