Program Objectives Upon completion of this course, scholars will:
  • Discuss and apply theories of learning to their own teaching practice
  • Adapt their teaching practices to further the achievement of intended learning objectives
  • Use feedback for both teaching and learning improvement
  • Reflect on their own and others’ work in medical education with a scholarly focus Use a scholarly approach to educational project development
  • Broaden their own community of clinician-educators within medical education

Program Description This 3-day intensive program is focused on post-graduate trainees (residents and fellows) who seek to enhance their skills and scholarship as future academic clinician-educators. The course content is focused on two major themes: skills in teaching and learning AND developing scholarship in medical education. Learning formats rely on small group project work and problem-solving, interactive small group activities with individualized feedback, and large group case-based discussion.

The course learning is built around the scholars’ educational project development. Therefore, each scholar must apply with a medical education project that is of interest to the scholar and of benefit to the current or future training program in which he or she works or teaches. Each scholar must have the explicit support of a faculty mentor who will assist and oversee the scholar’s project development at the home institution. Faculty mentors are invited and strongly encouraged to attend the project reporting-out in person on the afternoon of 12/9/13; however, online connection opportunities will be made available to facilitate remote access by faculty mentors to this event, if desired.
