Teaching

Teaching administration has now moved to the Edinburgh Medical School. The majority of staff who were previously based in the Deanery of Molecular, Genetic and Population Health Sciences (MGPHS) Teaching Organisation at Usher have transferred to the Edinburgh Medical School.

Academic staff within the Usher Institute remain embedded in the delivery of teaching across programmes that are now administered through the Edinburgh Medical School.
