Virtual Open House

Interested in the Master of Health Professions Education (MHPE) program?

Watch the recording from our MHPE team Virtual Open House that was held on Wednesday, November 13th, 2024.

Queen's Master of Health Professions Education (MHPE) program fills a gap between clinical knowledge and teaching skills for individuals employed in the health professions sector and/or residents/allied health students seeking a position at an academic setting.

Jointly developed and designed by clinical faculty members and pedagogical experts, Queen's MHPE program embeds Indigenous teachings and learnings throughout the program.

Queen's MHPE program is a 2-year, cohort-based degree program with 8 blended courses that provides health professionals the flexibility to continue working to meet their professional obligations.

The MHPE program at Queen's university has exceeded my expectations. While I expected to learn a wealth of knowledge about Health Profession's Education, I was not expecting to learn it all as quickly as I have. The courses are relevant and very applicable to real world scenarios and help the learners develop a teaching dossier for practical use upon graduation. I was not expecting to make such wonderful connections with classmates and course directors across Canada which has been a pleasant surprise considering the classes have all been online. The program has been incredibly supportive to our busy clinical schedules and timely feedback and support has been provided when needed. I highly recommend this program for anyone interested in teaching within a healthcare setting.

The MHPE program is an excellent option for cultivating new skills and competencies essential for real-world application and development as a health professions educator within the Canadian healthcare setting. This program is well-suited for individuals looking to balance work and study commitments, offering a distinctive opportunity for remote learning while also providing hands-on experiences through in-person summer courses at Queen’s University.
