Biography

Dr Jim Price qualified in 1984 at Cambridge University and then joined the Royal Navy as a Medical Officer for six years, training in medicine & gastroenterology. After leaving the Navy he decided to enter General Practice, and became a partner in a Chichester practice for 21 years. In 2001, he joined the precursor of BSMS (the Institute of Postgraduate Medicine) to develop Postgraduate Masters courses, but with the announcement of a new Undergraduate School, rapidly became involved with its development, in particular the clinical aspects of the new curriculum. Latterly, he has returned to postgraduate teaching and currently leads Postgraduate Masters level programmes in Medical & Clinical Education.

Research

Although principally a clinical and teaching academic, Jim maintains a deep interest in medical pedagogical research, and leads on this for the Division of Medical Education. His personal interests mainly relate to the application of complexity and complex systems theory and their practical application to teaching and learning. He has also validated and led Masters’ programmes in both Leadership and Commissioning and Professional Development, and has also pursued research in these areas. More recently he has been involved in collaborative research into Postgraduate Supervision, Pedagogical aspects of Telemedicine, and the notion of ‘Compassion’ in Healthcare.
