Master of Health Professions Education Program

The Master of Health Professions Education program will provide health professionals a focused program addressing the diverse teaching needs within the clinical or health related setting. Specifically, the program targets individuals employed in the health professions sector filling a gap between clinical knowledge and teaching skills, and/or residents/allied health students seeking a position at an academic setting.

The MHPE program is cohort-based with 8 blended courses which allows health-care professionals the flexibility to continue working to meet their professional obligations. The first and fifth courses will be offered during a one-week summer intensive, 5 courses will be offered completely online, and the final course, a Capstone Experience, will be designed to meet individual needs.

This interdisciplinary degree is jointly developed and designed by clinical faculty members and pedagogical experts which ensures a diversity of experiences and expertise. This graduate degree program fulfills a niche that is not currently met in Canada as there are no other programs available to the health education community (e.g., doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nutritionists, dentists, veterinarians, etc.) that are both course-based and competency-based.

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.
