Summary
The Academy of Medical Educators recognises that medical education is distinct from teaching in higher education in general because of the central place that patient care occupies not only in teaching and learning but also in assessment and feedback, and in quality assurance. Its Professional Standards framework makes explicit the values, skills, knowledge, and practical capabilities required of those engaged in medical education and has been developed in wide consultation with the international community of professional medical educators.
Content
This framework identifies five practice domains. Each domain contains detailed descriptions of elements, outlining the expected understanding, skills and capabilities. These detailed outcomes describe and underpin expert professional practice in medical education. Each element within these domains is sub divided into four levels which represent increasing levels of capability, competence and responsibility.
