Your Tutor is Mark Simpson

Mark Simpson MMedSc, BMedEduc, BN has been teaching at WEA since 1998. 

Mark is a retired medical educator and has also completed postgraduate research within the field of Thanatology Science which explores death and dying including disposition within the Australian funeral industry.

The world of science and medicine can be difficult to understand, with its own complex language. As a passionate public educator, Mark launched Australian Medical Educators to unlock the mystique of this complicated world and translate it into everyday language. 

He teaches a range of courses with WEA and online through Australian Medical Educators. Subjects include medical terminology and medical admin for vocational purposes, death and dying, funeral planning, and navigating the funeral industry.

This course is available as a WEA Flexi course.

When you enrol in a WEA Flexi course, you have the option of attending each session in person or online via Zoom. You do not need to nominate a preference when you enrol, you can simply attend each session in person or online as it suits you.

Zoom is a popular video conferencing software solution which can be used as a virtual classroom. For an optimal online learning experience, when attending classes via Zoom we recommend you install Zoom Workplace on a desktop or laptop computer with built-in webcam and use a headset with microphone. Alternatively, there is a Zoom Workplace app available so you can participate using a tablet or smartphone, however you may not be able to experience all aspects of the online learning environment when participating this way.

When you enrol in a WEA Flexi course, you will receive an email with a Zoom meeting link at least two days before the course starts. If you don’t see the email in your inbox, please check your spam folder or junk mail. If you have not received the email with the Zoom meeting details, please contact us and we will provide the details you need to join the session online.

To join the course session via Zoom, simply click on the Join the Meeting link in the email or click on Join Meeting in the Zoom app and insert the Meeting ID, your name and Passcode in the boxes provided.

Please note: WEA can only provide limited technical support (such as re-sending the meeting details), as students should know how to use Zoom on their computer or device if choosing to attend this way.
