Clinical Teaching and Education Pathway
Overview
The Monash Rural Health Clinical Teaching and Education Pathway is a micro-credential program designed for doctors to explore their interest in education through face-to-face learning and assessment. This three-stage pathway develops knowledge and practical skills in teaching and learning, which can be immediately applied in the workplace.

Testimonials
"Attending CTEP helped me to learn how quality supervision and effective feedback can be provided in my workplace when supervising medical students and junior doctors. It has inspired me to proceed with further studies in clinical education which I wouldn't have considered otherwise. Getting peer feedback about my supervisory practice helped me build skills and confidence. I strongly suggest CTEP to every doctor who supervises trainees and has an interest in clinical education."
