The Master of Science in Medical Education at Católica Medical School (CMS) is designed to prepare healthcare professionals for advanced roles in teaching, research, and leadership in the evolving field of medical education. With a strong focus on pedagogical innovation, the programme responds to the growing need for qualified educators in the healthcare field.

With a foundation in evidence-based, patient-centred care, the programme emphasises creating meaningful learning experiences that shape empathetic, technically skilled, and ethical healthcare providers.

Unique to this programme is its integration of critical areas such as biostatistics, educational technology, curriculum development, instructional design and ethics, all taught by experienced educators and researchers from faculty and CMS’s Department of Medical Education.

Students in this master’s programme benefit from a spiral curriculum design, which progressively revisits and deepens core topics to reinforce learning and application.

The programme’s commitment to student-centred, experiential learning encourages active engagement and skill development through simulation-based learning and case studies. Graduates are well-prepared for impactful careers in pre-graduation and clinical education or leadership roles within healthcare institutions, and they can further advance their expertise through a doctoral pathway at CMS
