Addysgu

Prof Edwards co-leads the Clinical Epidemiology Route of the Intercalated BSc programme for medical students. Now going into its 7th year, with 82 graduates to date, over 70% 1st class honours the Route goes from strength to strength, with modules on research methods, health economics, infections, long term conditions, clinical care quality, publichealth and global health. A key part of the course is the supervise research project module, from which approximately half the students to date have secured a publication, and there have been several high quality presentations at national and international meetings.

Other Education interests include a range of modules in the main C21 curriculum (Improving Quality, evidence in Practice, Science in Practice; Student Selected Components), contributions to Masters programmes, and higher degree supervision (see 'Research').
