About the Show

How can we ensure our doctors are fit for the future? How will technological advances impact the teaching of medicine? How has the pandemic transformed the way we teach? Join Cheryl France, head of Cambridge University Medical Education Group (CUMEG), as we interview world-leading doctors, scientists, and academics from the University of Cambridge Clinical School and others working in close partnership with the clinical school. Focusing on contemporary issues in medicine, episodes will explore topics such as teaching palliative care, ethics and law in medicine, clinician and student support systems, and the student elective modules. The views expressed in this podcast are not necessarily those of the presenters and the University of Cambridge.
