Our Purpose

Healthcare and clinical education is evolving rapidly, driven by technological advances, changing learner expectations, and the need for more personalized, effective learning approaches. Our Institute equips faculty members with the pedagogical expertise, technological fluency, and educational innovation skills needed to excel in this new era of healthcare education.

Our Approach

We believe great educators teach well, test well, and treat well. Our programmes combine evidence-based educational and pedagogical theories with hands-on practice, featuring interactive workshops, peer learning opportunities, and real-world application projects. From AI-driven learning analytics to immersive simulations, we empower our educators to shape learning experiences that engage and inspire every healthcare professional.

 

Through collaborative learning communities, faculty members share best practices, innovate together, and continuously enhance their teaching effectiveness while building a culture of educational excellence across NHG Health.

Our partnership with Group Clinical Education allows us to leverage the knowledge and experience of distinguished local and international experts, institutions and collaborative partners, delivering exceptional professional development opportunities for our clinical educators, faculty and healthcare professionals. This strategic alliance empowers us to provide comprehensive programmes that remain relevant to our local healthcare education context.

Curriculum Review and Quality Committee

The Curriculum Review and Quality Committee (CRQC) serves as the cornerstone of educational excellence within our organisation, providing expert guidance on educational proposals and programmes for educator and faculty development, to ensure they meet the highest quality and standards.

 

The committee is dedicated to ensuring that all training programmes are maintaining pedagogical soundness and alignment with the clearly defined educational needs of our health professionals. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in benchmarking our programmes against established health professions education standards, thereby maintaining our commitment to continuous improvement and excellence in health professions education.

NHG Health Faculty Development Framework

The NHG Health Faculty Development Framework is a comprehensive development structure for clinical educators and faculty designed to systematically build capabilities and competencies across different educator roles and education domains within healthcare education.

 

The framework operates on a four-tiered hierarchy of educator roles, each with distinct competencies and corresponding development programmes.

 

  • At the foundational level are Clinical Teachers - the frontline educators including physicians, supervisors, and preceptors who directly teach and assess learners whilst providing constructive feedback. 
  • The middle tier comprises Clinical Educators who take on broader responsibilities for designing learning activities and assessments.
  • The next tier are Educator-Leads who are clinicians with formal teaching appointments who are involved in designing, leading and managing major and core programmes. 
  • At the apex are the Education Leaders with leadership roles in education, lead changes and drive strategic educational initiatives.

The framework also maps to five domains of competencies which are:

 

  • Designing and planning learning
  • Teaching and facilitating learning
  • Assessment of learning
  • Educational management and leadership
  • Educational research and scholarship

Learning Needs Analysis Tool

The Learning Needs Analysis Tool provides faculty and educators with a systematic approach to identify educational gaps and learner requirements within their departments. This resource enables educators to conduct evidence-based assessments of skill deficiencies and knowledge gaps, ensuring training initiatives align with actual needs rather than assumptions. The tool supports data gathering, analysis of findings, and development of targeted educational interventions that maximise learning outcomes within the NHG Health Faculty Development Framework. For any queries or to access the LNA Tool, please email nhggroup.college@nhghealth.com.sg.
