Dr Silvia Stefanova Karcheva

I have taught a variety of courses in physiology, medical emergencies and anaesthesia at undergraduate and postgraduate level using a wide range of teaching styles. I am also involved in the development of teaching programmes for the Neuronaesthesia trainees, and PGC in Clinical Medicine and e-Learning modules. I am passionate about finding approaches to improve the quality and efficiency of teaching in clinical setting. I am interested in understanding the impact of various teaching modalities, and e-Learning in particular, on the learners’ satisfaction of the learning process, and ultimately on the learning outcomes. My research project focuses on the ways and extent to which e-Learning offers enhanced learning opportunities compared to traditional didactic teaching in terms of educational content, teaching style, flexibility and access.
