This week, RCSI is hosting a week-long International Education Forum taking place from 1-5 July. Following on from the success of last year's inaugural education forum, staff from RCSI Dublin, Bahrain and Perdana have travelled to Dublin to attend this year's meeting. The theme for this year's forum is ‘Enhancing Pedagogy'.

The second International Education Forum will provide academic staff with the opportunity to learn about the international effort to provide a common curriculum on the three campuses. There will also be an emphasis on further development by sharing information and experiences across all RCSI sites.
 
During the course of the week, staff from the three campuses will reflect on the content of modules and planning for delivery for the coming academic year while evaluating examinations and assessments from the year just gone.

Professor Hannah McGee, Dean, Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences, RCSI, said: "The Forum provides a fantastic opportunity to learn about our international effort to provide a common curriculum across three world regions - in Europe, the Middle East and the Far East. We welcome more than 30 international RCSI staff to Dublin for the events of this week. The three groups of staff will share their experiences during the past academic year to ensure that lessons learned can be built into further development of a common programme across three sites. We welcome our international colleagues to RCSI, on St Stephen's Green, this week to learn from their perspective and expertise."
