Overview of Support at FMHS

Associate Dean - Learning and Teaching

Dr John Egan, Associate Dean Learning Teaching, oversees teaching and learning in the Faculty. John chairs the Faculty's Education Committee, which functions to maintain and improve the quality of teaching and learning within the Faculty. The Education Committee includes representatives from the six Schools, the various Boards of Study in the Faculty and representatives from various departments and units, including the Centre for Medical and Health Sciences Education and the Learning and Teaching Unit. The Education Committee provides a forum where the Faculty's commitment to excellence in teaching is informed by diverse and informed perspectives from across the Faculty.

To achieve our goals, the FMHS strives to attract students of the highest standard and to provide them with a teaching and learning environment in which they will be able to excel in their chosen field of study. We focus on excellence in our curriculum whilst promoting continual pedagogical improvements through course development work carried out within the six Schools and through the activities of the Learning and Teaching Unit, the Centre for Medical and Health Sciences Education and the Clinical Skills Resource Center.
