Created with consultants from several hospitals from conception to birth – guiding us with their teaching training and decades of experience between them.

Meet the Creators
Aayushi Sen cropped

Dr Aayushi Sen completed her pre-clinical studies at the University of Cambridge, graduating with a BA Neuroscience (Hons.) and her clinical studies at Imperial College, London, graduating with a Distinction in Clinical Sciences. She completed an Academic Foundation Programme at the University Hospitals of Leicester, where she conducted research into ILC2 cells in wheezing children; the results of which have been presented at multiple international conferences globally. She then worked in emergency medicine and cardiology at a major tertiary Cardio-thoracic centre in Brisbane, Australia. During this time she also co-authored The Ultimate OSCE History Guide; a textbook to help medical students crack the secret to passing the pesky OSCE exams. She is currently an Academic Clinical Fellow in Neurology in Oxford.

She launched into working on Erudical (formerly Teacher of Tomorrow) after realising the difficulty faced by junior doctors wanting further training in teaching, and the lack of comprehensive options online. It proved to be a delightful challenge that has resulted in the lauded teaching course you see today.
